“There have been changes in the Ukrainian army. Three years ago, discord reigned in her. However, thanks to NATO assistance, it has become more organized and efficient, the story says. “The training process here is led by American soldiers.”
Ukrainian Armed Forces captain Pavel Iltsev told British journalists that he likes these exercises, during which “every day it turns out better and better.”
“You can see how they change over two months of physical training. We want them to successfully carry out their operations with the least possible losses,” says American Colonel Jay Wisham.
“Many of these soldiers will soon be heading to eastern Ukraine, where the Ukrainian army continues to fight armed supporters of the self-proclaimed republics, which are backed by Russia,” the BBC emphasizes. – After Russia’s annexation of Crimea, America became one of Ukraine’s main allies. This is one of the clearest examples of the Obama administration's policy towards Ukraine. Ukrainian soldiers are trained hundreds of kilometers from the conflict zone in the east of the country, so that Ukraine has the opportunity to defend itself from its strong neighbor, Russia.”
At the same time, as the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security and Defense Sergei Pashinsky said, 90 percent of American military aid to Ukraine went to pay for US instructors.
