The United States considers it unlikely that Russia will be able to train and arm 500,000 soldiers at the same time, even if they can be mobilized. This was announced on Monday, January 16, during a meeting with Ukrainian journalists in Kyiv, US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, reports "

She noted that during a meeting with Ukrainian officials in Kyiv, she discussed the possibility of declaring another wave of mobilization in Russia and how this could be counteracted..

“Yes, the mobilization of 500 thousand is an incredible thing. Of course, you are wondering whether it will be possible under such conditions to train and provide the necessary for such a number of people. I suspect that if Putin mobilizes that many troops, neither of these things will happen,” said Wendy Sherman..

According to her, the US is concerned not only about the likely mobilization envisaged by Western intelligence, but also about the fact that the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is ready to sacrifice so many human lives, “making a terrible invasion of a sovereign country.”.

“We must follow this (mobilization) together with other states around the world to help Ukraine win.

And I think that today we were all once again inspired by perseverance, resilience, deep devotion to the Ukrainian people,” she added..

In early January, the United States announced the largest military aid package for Ukraine for more than $3 billion, which will include Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled guns, missiles and hundreds of thousands of ammunition..
