Ukraine is training eight new brigades totaling 40,000 soldiers that it wants to use during a counter-offensive against Russian occupiers in coming weeks or months
"For them, the objective is to liberate Ukraine," Klymenko said of the recruits during an interview in Kyiv. "We are writing the great history of our state for many future decades."Ukraine launched its recruitment campaign for the storm brigades at the beginning of February.
A shooting instructor, call sign Hassid, said the recruits were absorbing the training quickly and were highly motivated. Rather than the army, the brigades are overseen by the Interior Ministry, like other units including the Azov Regiment, which gained global prominence for holding out against invading forces at Azovstal steel works in besieged Mariupol last year.
He praised the training on offer and said he thought it would provide a more rapid route to the east where the fiercest fighting is raging.
