Britain to help train Ukrainian army to counter Russian threat

LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister David Cameron said on Tuesday Britain would deploy military personnel to Ukraine in the next month to help train the Ukrainian army, warning that Moscow would move to destabilize other countries if left unchallenged.
"Over the course of the next month we're going to be deploying British service personnel to provide advice and a range of training, to tactical intelligence to logistics, to medical care," Cameron told a committee of lawmakers in parliament.
"We'll also be developing an infantry training program with Ukraine to improve the durability of their forces."
