Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky countered concerns from US and NATO members that their military would need significant training before receiving advanced weapons from other countries, telling the CNN that your forces need weapons quickly – and can learn to use them just as quickly.
“I heard these stories that we would need months to train our troops to use new tanks. Okay, give us a Soviet-era tank,” Zelensky said in an exclusive interview with Jake Tapper of CNNon Friday (15).
“We are prepared to use any type of equipment, but it needs to be delivered very quickly. And we have the ability to learn to use new equipment. But it needs to be quick.”
Zelensky said in the presidential office interview in Kiev that weapons provided by the US and other countries, including the Biden administration’s new $800 million security assistance package, had helped his country resist Russian invasion.
But he said more would be needed, and his country’s trainers would be able to ramp up their forces quickly.
