More than 200 members of the 1st Battalion, 279th Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, Oklahoma Army National Guard, are heading to for the Joint Multinational Training Group Ukraine or JMTG-U will continue the mission of its sister battalion, the 179 Infantry. Soldiers will assist in the training of Ukrainian Forces in tactical skills such as marksmanship, live-fire exercises and first aid at the International Peacekeeping and Security Center outside of Yavoriv, Ukraine.
“The JMTG-U is a strategically significant mission for United States and its allies involving both NATO and non-NATO member nations,” Lt. Col. Bruce Lambeth, commander of 1st Battalion, 279 Infantry Regiment, said. “The multinational effort will contribute to Ukraine’s long-term defense capabilities by providing Partner Advise Training Teams. This is an effort to increase the combat capability of the Ukrainian Army through their training at their combat training center.”
For some soldiers and families the deployments can be both exciting and challenging.

This is pretty funny.
US troops deployed in nation which is literally in war with Russia and openly training their troops. And Russia can't do anything about it.

At the same time russia is sending over their soldiers as "volunteers", is shelling ukraine from within their borders or just scoop and shot their into ukraine, sending military vehicles including tanks, APCs, artillery and anti air, sharing radar and satellite intel, producing an endless stream of lies and propaganda, etc... All doing it to a country, which they have promised to respect and defend their sovereignty.
The US could literally start bombing the rebels and still have high moral ground.
I miss when Ukraine was simply the klankening

Ukraine was a major topic for almost a year, funny how now it's a basically forgotten conflict.
