Reuters: U.S. army to train Ukrainians in March: commander U.S. army Europe

(Reuters) - 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.

WNU Editor: News of direct U.S. military involvement in Ukraine is raising red flags all over Moscow .... they are now vowing retaliation by "responding asymmetrically against Washington or its allies on other fronts" .... If the U.S. Arms Ukraine, Russia Vows Retaliation (Fiscal Times). If the U.S. wants to torpedo the talks that are now ongoing in Minsk and the probable agreement that it will produce .... this is how you do it.
