DISINFO: Foreign military instructors are preparing five battalions of Ukrainians who are almost nationalists, the aim is to attack Donbas

SUMMARY

Today, five battalions of Ukrainian troops – almost nationalists – are trained by foreign specialists. And they are ready today. Waiting only for a signal. They are ready for very serious, decisive actions in Donbas. When the cleaning starts, do not force Russia to answer.

RESPONSE

IMPROVE Noevidencegiven. Repeating a pro-Kremlin disinformation about Ukrainian soldiers as nationalist force ready to "clean" Donbas. Joint Multinational Training Group-Ukraine is the name for the training mission being conducted by U.S. Forces in support of Ukraine. The U.S. will continue training and advising Ukrainian security forces until 2020, and JMTG-U will oversee defensive and security training for up to five battalions of Ministry of Defense forces per year.
