U.S. Army Europe commander Ben Hodges said on Wednesday the U.S. army will provide training to Ukrainian troops battling Russian-backed separatists in the country’s east.
The training mission will start in March, with one battalion of U.S. soldiers training three Ukrainian battalions, Hodges said during a visit to a NATO base at Szczecin in north-west Poland.
“We will train them in security tasks, medical (tasks), how to operate in an environment where the Russians are jamming (communications) and how to protect (themselves) from Russian and rebel artillery,” he said.

The government in Kiev are COMMUNISTS!!! They and their fellow travelers have committed many atrocities on the population, and not just in East Ukraine.
Soldiers who are part of such activities have to know that doing so is committing treason and would be well advised not to bother coming home. Facing court martial is a better choice and doing the right thing.
