“NATO-trained units will serve as tip of spear in Ukraine’s counteroffensive”
“When Ukraine’s long-awaited counteroffensive finally begins, the fight will be led by brigades armed not only with Western weapons but also Western know-how, gleaned from months of training aimed at transforming Ukraine’s military into a modern force skilled in NATO’s most advanced warfare tactics.
As other Ukrainian units were fighting to expel the Russian occupiers from the country’s east and south, the brand-new 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade was preparing for the next phase of war from a classroom at a NATO base in Germany.
The brigade’s leadership trained with computers that simulated situations they might face in real life. Deputy commander Maj. Ivan Shalamaha and others planned their assaults and then let the program show them the results — how their Russian enemies might respond, where they could make a breakthrough and where they would suffer losses.”

A new tone out of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense today:
@EuromaidanPR 6h
“The Plans need the Silence, - General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”
The Government Crisis Media Center calling for OPSEC in the media:
“Please all international media, do not share any info about the movement of Ukraine’s Armed Forces. It’s hard to keep silence while hunting on breaking news, but that may cost lives to our MEN.”
