“U.S. involvement in Ukraine war deepens, with troops to train in Oklahoma. The Pentagon is planning to bring Ukrainian troops to the United States for training on the Patriot missile defense system, U.S. officials said Tuesday, signaling the Biden administration’s latest test of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threshold for Western intervention in the conflict.”

Americans’ broad support for aiding Ukraine has slipped in recent months, polls show, as some Republicans have argued that it is irresponsible for the federal government to spend such sums when the United States faces economic hardships.

Oklahoma legislators passed a resolution demanding that the Ukrainian military not be allowed into the state for training.
