Institutet för global ekonomi i Kiel

har slagit fast att europeiska länder har bidragit med 138 miljarder dollar till Ukrainas krigsinsatser jämfört med 119 miljarder dollar i militärt och humanitärt bistånd från USA.

USA har dock andra trum(f/p)kort på handen: Starlink, som förser Ukraina med alla kommunikationsmöjligheter som internet erbjuder, men också andra typer av militär finansiering som till exempel underrättelseutbyte, utbildning för ukrainska trupper och piloter och värd för ett callcenter som hanterar internationellt bistånd vid en amerikansk militärbas i Tyskland.

The new command, called the Security Assistance Group-Ukraine, or SAG-U, will based in Germany and within the structure of the Pentagon’s European Command. With a staff of about 300 people, it will be  focused on one mission: to help train and equip Ukraine’s military.

About 300 people would be dedicated to the mission, which would be in Wiesbaden, Germany, the U.S. Army’s headquarters in Europe. Much of the training of Ukrainian soldiers on U.S. weapons systems is already taking place there or nearby.

From his forward headquarters in Wiesbaden, General Donahue, a former commander of the 82nd Airborne Division who now leads the Army’s 18th Airborne Corps, has helped oversee training, talking to Ukrainian generals about their battlefield needs and drawing on his Special Operations background to advise his Ukrainian counterparts.

The little-known group — formally called the International Donor Coordination Center, along with officers from more than two dozen countries — is playing a pivotal role in supporting Ukraine’s military as its battlefield needs become more complicated.

The Consolidated Intelligence Center (CIC, German: Vereinigtes Nachrichtendienstliches Zentrum) in Wiesbaden, Germany, is a controversial US intelligence facility under construction by the US Army Europe, located on the grounds of the Lucius D. Clay

 Barracks in Wiesbaden-Erbenheim, formerly Wiesbaden Army Airfield, about eight kilometres southeast of downtown Wiesbaden.[1] 

The purpose of the facility, according to the US Army, is to support US forces with tactical theatre-of-war support and strategic intelligence functions.[2] As such, it is implied that data fusion would also take place at this location.
