New York Times: U.S. Army Trainers Arrive in Ukraine
MOSCOW — The Kremlin on Friday warned that the arrival of several hundred American military trainers in Ukraine could “destabilize the situation” in the country’s southeast, where a cease-fire between government troops and Russian-backed separatists is barely holding.
On Friday, the United States Army announced that about 300 troops from the 173rd Airborne Brigade, based in Italy, had arrived in western Ukraine this week for Operation Fearless Guardian, a six-month training rotation for three battalions of Ukraine’s National Guard engaged in combat duty. It is the first training mission by American troops in Ukraine since the war in the southeast began.

I wonder what they can do.
We trained Iraqis and the Ukrainians are different. The Iraqis fled due to poor moral form ghost payrolling corruption and neglect. I have heard people say good things about Iraqis nerve. The Iraqis never once fired upon American convoys or vehicles due to a mistake. The converse is not true.
I wonder how well American training will take hold if the fish is rotten at the head.
It might take, only to be last in a year or few years if corruption remains high.
The same I would apply to Americans (or anyone else).
