US forces begin training Ukraine soldiers | DW News - 20 April 2015 |

Joint training exercises began Monday for some 300 American paratroopers working with about 900 members of Ukraine's newly re-formed National Guard.

"This is not only a war for the independence of Ukraine, but also a war for freedom and democracy in Europe and the whole world," Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko told the assembled troops of the US 173rd Airborne Brigade in a ceremony to launch the operation, dubbed "Fearless Guardian."

The US soldiers arrived at the Yavoriv military base in the Lviv region last week. They are due to train the National Guard members over the next six months.
