    Calling the Ukrainian government "the party of war" as the article you shared does certainly shows where your sympathies lie dub.

    You could have posted this article instead from reuters which says the same thing but without the Kremlin spin.

    It was Russia who took Crimea, it is Russia who is financing the war in East of Ukraine, it is Russia who is providing soldiers tanks and equipment to support the war. It is Russia who has sent senior military personell to direct the Russian army on Ukrainian territory against the people of Ukraine.

    So the fact that the Americans and British are training Ukrainian soldiers and border defence guards in areas such as communications, strategy and with new tech like battlefield radar is excellent news from where I sit ... admittedly that would be in Kiev.

    It all makes it more difficult and costly for Russia to move deeper into Ukraine ... just look at the current oil price.
