    The United States military is moving forward with plans to send paratroopers to Ukraine to help train volunteer forces. The mission, which was supposed to take place this month, was delayed because of fears that it would affect the fragile ceasefire agreement between Ukrainian forces and Russian-backed rebels that came into force Feb. 18.

    Army Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, said Thursday that the training would likely commence in April.

    Around 290 Italy-based soldiers from the Army’s 173rd Airborne Brigade will deploy to western Ukraine to train three of the country’s volunteer battalions, which receive only basic training, guns, bullets and accommodation from the Ukraine government. Vital equipment such as helmets, uniforms, body armor and basic survival gear is not provided, forcing the battalions to rely on donations.

    En mars, fragilise pas,
    Avril, vas-y, lâche-toi.

    Sinon, pour changer, ce sont les milices qui vont bénéficier de l’entraînement. Pour l’armée régulière, y a pas de souci.
