No matter what happens to the Minsk agreements, the Ukrainian army should improve its professionalism to be able to effectively defend its territory amid very rapid changes in terms of security, he said.
Pyatt said that Ukrainian security forces faced two challenges, in particular, the need for internal cleansing of corruption within the structures themselves and the task of developing a proper response to the presence of Russia, which has demonstrated its uncompromising militancy and complete disrespect for the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine.
The diplomat said that the United States had provided night vision devices, first aid kits, body armor and military MREs to Ukraine to meet the short-term needs of improving the combat capability of the Ukrainian military.
