British Military Trainers Arrive In Ukraine
British military training personnel have reportedly arrived in Ukraine.
In a deal announced by the Prime Minister David Cameron in February the 35 trainers are expected to be in the country for two months.
They'll be instructing Ukrainian government forces on defensive tactics as well as supplying them with non-lethal equipment including first aid kits and night-vision goggles.
Troops from the United States are also heading to the region, deployments the Kremlin has criticised as not "strengthening trust".
The United Nations estimate more than 6,000 people have died in the fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian rebels.
