[1/5] Ukrainian civilians receive urban warfare training at a military installation in the north of England, part of a program that has so far trained more than 10,000 volunteers, February 16, 2023. Kyiv and its Western allies, including Britain, say these are baseless pretexts for an unprovoked war of acquisition. On Wednesday, British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said Britain is training Ukrainian soldiers to fight in a more "Western way" and use less ammunition than the traditional Soviet way of fighting. The programme also includes urban warfare, where men train how to fight in ordinary houses and civilian structures, and shooting practice. "I think that all of us will be ready to come back, because Ukraine really needs us, the soldiers who will stand for Ukraine," he said.
"This means that a Ukrainian victory would result in the dissolution of the Russian empire. 'REGIME CHANGE'The United States has denied Kremlin claims that it wants to destroy Russia, the world's biggest commodities producer. Ukraine, he said, had a narrow window of opportunity in Spring once it got the weapons promised by the West. On China, Soros said that President Xi Jinping's 'zero-COVID' strategy had shaken trust in the Communist Party. "The current situation fulfills all the preconditions for regime change or revolution," Soros said of China.

Russia, Putin says, is defending Russians in Ukraine against a decadent West that ultimately wants to carve up Russia's vast resources and eradicate Russian civilisation. The club's videos show training to a popular song with the lyrics: "Be afraid - we, the Russians, are coming." Directorate "A", known as Alpha Group, is one of Russia's most elite special forces units. Russia presents the conflict in Ukraine as an attempt to root out neo-Nazis who Moscow says have persecuted Russian speakers.
