MOSCOW,
November 26 /TASS/. The United States has launched a new phase of
training of Ukrainian servicemen, a fact, which may have negative
consequences for the future of the Donbas truce, Russian Foreign
Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.
She
recalled that 300 US instructors from the 173rd US airborne brigade had
trained three battalions - 780 people - for Ukraine’s National Guard in
a period from April to November. "It is noteworthy that the training
completed at a time when the situation on the line of contact in Donbas
started getting worse and the newly trained people were apparently sent
there," Zakharova said.
"Now the Americans and their NATO colleagues, including the Lithuanians and Canadians, will train a new group of Ukrainian troopers. It is clear that such preparations are unlikely to deescalate tensions and may have a negative impact on the fragile truce in the country’s southeast," the Russian diplomat stressed.
