Above: British Defence Secretary Michael Fallon (2L) talks with UK instructors after military exercises on the shooting range of Ukrainian forces near Ghytomyr, some 150 km west of Kiev, on August 11, 2015.
The West continues to insist on indefinitely prolonging the suffering of the Ukrainian people. The policy of sending military aid seems to have no limits. In addition to financial remittances and arms shipments, Western countries are also mobilizing to give military instructions to Kiev. Considering the war crimes and human rights violations repeatedly committed by Ukrainian forces, supporting Kiev militarily means co-participating in the crimes – and the West must be judged responsible for that.
On 12 August, Canada and Sweden announced that they had sent teams of military instructors to participate in a joint program with the UK to train Ukrainian troops. Currently, London leads a project of military assistance to Ukraine by training soldiers with Western instructors. The objective is to pass on the technical and practical knowledge necessary for the Ukrainians to use the military equipment received from the West in the best possible way, thus helping Kiev to continue its “resistance” against the Russian special military operation.
Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand said that 225 Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) officers will be sent to the UK to participate in the project. The first phase of participation would consist of a four-month period of joint military actions, in which Ukrainian combatants would be instructed in knowledge “related to frontline combat, weapons handling, first aid, field craft, patrol tactics, and include the law of armed contact”. She also made it clear that, in addition to training soldiers, Ottawa will also be contributing by sending 39 armored vehicles to Kiev.
On the same day, the Swedish government also made it clear that it intends to actively participate in this London-led international mobilization. Stockholm announced the deployment of 120 military instructors to participate in the program. The act follows a previous announcement, in which Finland also committed to act in the training, albeit in a more moderate way, sending about 20 instructors. This is just another step towards militarization, revealing the bellicose turn that both countries have taken since the beginning of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine, when Sweden and Finland started to react irrationally to Moscow’s measures, even asking for NATO membership.
In fact, it must be noted that countries like Canada, Sweden and Finland are historically weak nations from a military point of view, whose security has always depended on two key factors: neutrality or automatic alignment. In the case of the Scandinavian nations, neutrality has always been a central factor, which began to be reversed as local governments adopted more favorable stances towards NATO – culminating in the current application for membership. In the Canadian case, however, the pillar of defense policy has always been automatic alignment with the US, complying with all decisions taken by Wasington in exchange for a place in the security umbrella.
These countries remain militarily weak. Their participation in the program does not imply real changes. Most Canadian, Swedish and Finnish military officers do not even have real war experience, which shows the practical irrelevance of being participants in the UK-led project. More than that: the very existence of a training program is of questionable relevance. Although the UK and other NATO countries have great military expertise and undoubtedly have qualified instructors to train their allies, the short training time makes it almost impossible for soldiers to prepare properly.
British military assistance to Kiev with training of personnel is not new. Since 2014 London has been assuming projects to train Ukrainian soldiers. Some of these programs took place publicly, while others were conducted secretly – such as the clandestine “Operation Orbital”, in which more than 22,000 Ukrainian troops were trained by British agents. What the UK is doing now is simply continuing its actions of the last eight years, with the only difference that now NATO’s plans for Ukraine have already failed. The aim is no longer to arm Kiev so that it can become a local power against Russia – it is simply to prolong the conflict indefinitely in order to “postpone” Russian victory.
For the UK, continuing the instruction is an opportunity to encourage the use of Western military equipment and thus trying to extend the conflict. For Canada, Sweden and Finland, it is a mere gesture of “political goodwill”, without any relevance. But, above all, those involved in this training and in all forms of military aid to Kiev share in becoming co-responsible for the Ukrainian atrocities. Since it is proven that Western-trained Ukrainian soldiers use Western weapons against civilians in Donbass, then the West itself is a participant in these crimes and should be sanctioned for doing so.

Then they become legitimate targets for kill or capture. The west can’t bitch they were only “advisers”. In a country in conflict there are no neutral positions for soldiers of other countries. If they’re there then they are illegal combatants and I’m sure Russia will be hoping to capture a few.
The Cold War was what it appeared to be, or it was not what it appeared to be…
To whatever extent the Cold War is not what it appeared to be—-allowing for the possibility that it was the opposite of what it appeared to be (if indeed the world has been nurtured on monetary fraud)—-then maybe we shared nuclear war technology with Russia to put meat on those bones of spy-vs-spy.
And maybe the 1949 beginning of the CCP was part of this enemy-of-democracy theater—-all to grow the importance/relevance of “intelligence” agencies.
If what is happening in Ukraine is a reboot of the fraudulent Cold War—-perhaps as misdirection away from 70% of the world’s humans being medically “excised” from the social fabric (fishing around in the ol’ toolbox)—-then using an old lie to cover a new lie will result in “ironic adjustments”…
Above all, these instructors will slowly, surely and secretly be embedded into the Ukrainian army and that is the beginning to an end of human civilization. ferkin bstards…
Author of article states the ‘West is prolonging the suffering of the Ukrainian people’..Far as I know it wasn’t the West that invaded Ukraine & reduced Mariupol & other towns/cities to rubble & killed over 20,000 civilians in Mariupol itself according to the mayor…but the Commies don’t like that ‘news’…lol
Is this the latest greaseball or Semite TTS has found to control the pro-Putin/Commie narrative on here for us?
WW3 by increment……
ALL the noises come from jews or more exactly crypto jews masquerading as “-whites”…..
NZ a small country on the other side of the world…FORTY MILLION DOLLARS which the country cannot afford!
Seems the Neocons and NATO still determined to fight Russia to the last Ukranian although 150 German and Polish instructors have been killed or wounded in the latest Russian strike but you wont see that in the Zio media.
I see in a recent report that Ukraine has been added to the list of countries looted of its gold by the Bankster gangsters, no sooner had the Neocon engineered coup occurred in 2014 then the black ops planes were carting off crates of gold whilst Nuland got the knuckle draggers attention by handing out cookies. The Ukranian Central Bank has stated that it has virtually no gold , you can take that as zero.
NATO advisers should be killed
like mercenaries !
they even want spread their slime

The leaders of Britain Canada and Finland are jews and possibly Sweden as well.
Is Putin a crypto jew???…some say he is.
Anyway youve got the preferred arrangement for a war controlled on all sides by JEWS…..Who will determine the outcome after thousands of the “goyim” are killed in the process…..
The fiends will be hoping to maneuver the wars spread into Iran the last remaining impediment to TOTAL domination of the middle east.
Some say the creeps ruling Saudia Arabia are crypto jews?…that wouldnt be surprising!! if it were true….
REMEMBER…the name of the top Nazi on the Eastern Front…ROSENBERG….which is a distinctly jewish name.
(Just like the pop group Duran Duran….yes theyre all jews)
WHY would NZ send 40 million dollars to Ukraine…the country has nothing to do with NZ…..except of course the fact NZ has an extremely powerful jewish clique….the Finance .inister is of course a crypto jew.
Why do I get these zio-freaks hanging around…..and the people they use.
Peter petherington I hope your not confusing my post with the inane drivel posted by our resident dimwit.

NATO ‘advisors’ should be priority targets, just to send a message. ‘See Ukraine and die’. Where they can be specifically identified, they should be pursued even when back in their own countries.
