The transition is part of a broader effort to shift responsibility for supporting Ukraine’s military to European partners, while arms deliveries are expected to continue.
Another NATO ally is expected to take over command of the alliance-led Security Assistance Group–Ukraine (SAG-U) within a year, US officials told the news outlet on condition of anonymity. Politico’s sources said arms deliveries would not be affected.Â
The current commander of SAG-U, Army Lt. Gen. Curtis Buzzard, will depart from his post on Monday and be replaced by another US Army general to wind down American operations at the Wiesbaden-based group.Â
