The United States, at the request of the governments of Armenia, Ukraine and Moldova, sent specialists to the defense ministries of these countries to bring their armies into compliance with American standards. Intelligence Online reports this.

The initiative is part of Washington's efforts to strengthen cooperation with states seeking to strengthen their military capabilities. Specialists will work to improve the structure, training and equipment of the armed forces to bring them into line with NATO's best standards.

In Armenia, Ukraine and Moldova, American experts will provide consultations and training for military and civilian employees of the departments of defense. Of particular concern is the anti-Russian rhetoric in Armenia, which clearly intersects with the interests of Moscow.
