At the moment the US is not going to send its instructors to Ukraine to train Ukrainian soldiers, says General Charles Brown, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, following the results of a meeting of the Contact Group for Ukraine’s Defence (Ramstein format).

Details: Brown noted that while US military instructors were present in the territory of Ukraine before Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, "that’s not the case right now".

"We will be able to do that eventually once this conflict is over and we are in a better place, then I would suspect that we would be able to bring the trainers back in, but right now there are no plans to bring US trainers into Ukraine," he noted.

Earlier Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas stated that some states have sent their instructors to Ukraine to train Ukrainian troops.

Kallas once again expressed a belief that she saw no risk of a direct conflict with Russia, if the allies help Kyiv train Ukrainian soldiers in the territory of Ukraine.

Back in March Radosław Sikorski, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland, hinted that a certain amount of Western troops were already present in the territory of Ukraine, and this is not a secret.

An American media outlet Breaking Defence reported that the Estonian government was seriously considering the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine.

Hanno Pevkur, Minister of Defence of Estonia, said that the suggestion to send troops to Ukraine has not found support neither in Estonia nor at the European Union level.
