The nine weeks of training involved 500 service personnel from the Ukrainian Land Forces and 24th Mechanized Brigade, as well as soldiers from the US Army’s 1st Battalion.
The event trained soldiers in first aid, counter-unmanned aerial vehicle tactics and dealing with counter-improvised explosive devices.
Joint Multinational Training Group Ukraine (JMTG-U) commander lieutenant colonel Nick Ducich said: "From all accounts, your progression from individual to collective level training demonstrated increased confidence, lethality, speed and most importantly teamwork."
The JMTG-U effort, which is aimed at strengthening Ukraine’s internal defence and training capabilities, is supported by the US, Canada, Lithuania and the UK.
