Such a dramatic headline -when it could just be ‘Ukraine continues to train its army like every other country in the world’
How are Ukrainian special forces , paramilitary – aren’t they just military?
Because I was going to say that if the CIA were training irregular militia in Ukraine then that the sort of thing to come back and bite you in the backside. But training regular Ukrainian forces nit quite so exciting a headline?
Paramilitary meaning the nazis or the regular army?
They did well in Afghanistan…
What would be the christian equivelant of the mujahideen?
Iscariot (vatican section 13 from helsing)?
Title
>CIA-trained Ukrainian paramilitaries may take central role if Russia invades
Article
>The CIA is overseeing a secret intensive training program in the U.S. for **elite Ukrainian special operations forces** and other intelligence personnel, according to five former intelligence and national security officials familiar with the initiative
….
>While the covert program, run by paramilitaries working for the CIA’s Ground Branch — now officially known as Ground Department — was established by the Obama administration after Russia’s invasion and annexation of Crimea in 2014, and expanded under the Trump administration, the Biden administration has further augmented it, said a former senior intelligence official in touch with colleagues in government.

Not sure what the author of the article is want to tell
This will be a conventional conflict. Small wet works detachments won’t take central role on either side.
Are they good?
Like afghanistan
I mean the west trained Afghan troops for far longer and they couldn’t fight of a Pakistani supported invasion by the Taliban. Ukrainian military is thankfully not as dependent on foreign training and aid like the Afghan military was.
