Ukraine’s secret army in France

Hindustan Times  

THREE UKRAINIAN soldiers, clutching Soviet-made AKM assault rifles, creep stealthily along zig-zagging trenches. At the French barracks, where cooks offer menus that alternate between Ukrainian and local, off-duty soldiers in combat fatigues hang around, training with gym weights, or smoking outside. Part of the European Union’s training mission, it was “co-constructed” with Ukrainian instructors, who are also on site to supervise the new recruits along with 1,400 French soldiers. To be joined by 1,500 soldiers already trained in Ukraine, “Anne of Kyiv”, as the new brigade is known, will be made up of two command posts, three infantry battalions, and full logistical support units. A goods train carrying a first batch of 100 armoured vehicles for the brigade will leave France shortly for Ukraine, said Sébastien Lecornu, the defence minister, on November 14th.
