Allvin the U.S. delegation pointed out that they are satisfied with the pace of the implementation of the Armed Forces reform road map. Our partner said that they understand that the reforms are conducted in the conditions of permanent hostilities in the eastern part of our country, which is a large hindering factor for reforms and allocating the required funds,” she wrote on her Facebook page after the meeting.
The U.S. delegation also positively assessed training of the Special Operations forces (SOF) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
