A | As Canada and Sweden send their first groups of military instructors to the UK to provide training for the Ukrainian forces, it is likely that “the arrival of more NATO instructors will be used by media outlets loyal to the Kiev regime as another little brick in their attempt to build a wall of false 'wunder-waffen' hopes among both the military and the civilian population," former MEP Nick Griffin told Sputnik.,On Friday, Ottawa and Stockholm announced the deployment of their first batches of military instructors to Britain, in what came amid Russia's ongoing special military operation in Ukraine. The deployment followed Canada’s Defence Minister Anita Anand stating last week that Ottawa had authorized the dispatch of up to 225 Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel to Britain to train Ukrainian forces, in line with a new program unveiled by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson in June.,She added that CAF servicemen will be sent to the UK for an initial period of four months, and that the Ukrainian troops will be trained on the basics of soldiering “related to frontline combat, weapons handling, first aid, field craft, patrol tactics, and include the law of armed contact.”,Anand said that apart from the training, Canada would provide the Ukrainian military with 39 armored vehicles, which she claimed are fitted with “additional, modern, state of the art armor and machine guns.”,UK Arms to Ukraine Will 'Not Change Anything', Says Former Think-Tank Analyst1 July, 14:45 GMT,Earlier this week, the Finnish Defense Ministry said that they would send about 20 service personnel to the UK to take part in a training program for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The move was preceded by the Swedish military announcing that it will deploy up to 120 military instructors to Britain within the framework of the program.,Meeting Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev in mid-June, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson offered to launch a training program for Ukrainian forces, with the potential to train up to 10,000 soldiers every 120 days. He urged other nations in the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) and Canada to join the initiative.,The JEF, which was launched in 2014, is a UK-led expeditionary force consisting of Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway.,The UK government noted on its website that under the program, “each soldier would spend three weeks on the training course, learning battle winning skills for the front line, as well as basic medical training, cyber-security and counter explosive tactics.”,According to No 10, the program will “train and drill the Armed Forces of Ukraine using battle-proven British Army expertise, allowing them to accelerate their deployment, rebuild their forces, and scale-up their resistance” to Russian troops.,Griffin said in this vein that Western countries are seeking to prolong the Ukraine conflict due to a whole array of factors, not least “the profits of the military-industrial complex, hostility to independent Russia of the neo-con and corporate lobbies, as well as the opportunity to use the conflict as an excuse for advancing the Western elite's insanely destructive decarbonisation agenda.”,He stressed that as far as Canada is concerned, “there is one extra factor: the country has the world's biggest concentration of Ukrainians, behind only the Ukraine itself and Russia.”,According to him, “the community's politics have been heavily influenced by Banderista ideology and hatred, and the Ukrainian lobby is well-organized, with plenty of politicians in receipt of campaign donations and back-handers. In a corrupted, kleptocratic democracy like Canada, money talks.”,RussiaUK Pledges $1.2 Billion Military Aid to Ukraine, Reports Say30 June, 07:08 GMT,Griffin suggested that Canada and Sweden sending their military instructors to the UK might be “far more of a political gesture and propaganda tool for the Kiev regime, than it is a genuine military factor” to change the situation on the ground in Ukraine.,“Training troops properly takes very much longer than Ukraine's unfortunate conscripts are getting before being thrown into the meat-grinder. Even well-trained troops only take a little longer to kill when the capabilities of the two sides are as far apart as they now are in Donbass, so [Canadian Prime Minister Justin] Trudeau's aggressive gesture will change nothing on the ground,” the former MEP insisted.,Britain has delivered hundreds of millions of pounds’ worth of military equipment and training support to Ukraine since 2014, including through secret “Operation Orbital”, over the course of which more than 22,000 Ukrainian troops were trained in the use of portable anti-tank missiles and other weapons.,Currently, the UK remains the second-largest supplier of weaponry to Ukraine after the US, providing Kiev with anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons, missile boats, armored vehicles, and long-range artillery.,The Russian Defense Ministry has repeatedly warned that the UK would evoke an "immediate and proportional response" from Moscow if it continued to provoke Kiev into launching attacks on Russian soil using British-made weapons, amid Russia’s special operation in Ukraine.,The operation to demilitarize and de-Nazify Ukraine was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin on 24 February following the Donbass republics’ request to protect them from Kiev’s atrocities.。 김윤덕 국토교통부 장관과 오세훈 서울시장이 26일 서울 중구 달개비에서 서울 주택 공급 현안을 논의하기 위한 2차 회동을 마친 뒤 악수를 나누고 있다. 박형기 기자 [email protected]서울시가 정부의 용산공원 주택 공급 방안이 철회될 경우 일부 개발제한구역(그린벨트)을 해제해 택지로 활용하는 방안을 논의할 수 있다고 밝혔다. 김윤덕 국토교통부 장관이 26일 오세훈 서울시장과의 면담 이후 ‘그린벨트 해제 검토를 환영한다’고 밝힌 것과 관련해 ‘전제’를 단 것이다.서울시는 이날 입장문을 통해 “서울시가 말씀드린 그린벨트 검토는 정부가 용산공원 내 주택 공급 방침을 철회한다는 것을 전제로 한 것”이라며 “이미 훼손돼 보전가치가 낮은 일부 그린벨트 해제를 검토할 수 있다는 취지”라고 설명했다.이어 서울시는 “정부가 원하는 공급 목표를 달성하면서도 미래세대에 남겨야 할 용산공원을 지킬 수 있도록 탄천물재생센터 등 현실적인 대체부지까지 먼저 제안했다”고 강조했다.그러면서 “정부가 현실 불가능한 용산공원 주장을 내려놓는다면 탄천물재생센터를 비롯한 대체부지와 훼손된 그린벨트 등 서울의 주택 공급 확대를 위한 합리적인 방안을 얼마든지 함께 논의할 준비가 돼 있다”고 덧붙였다.앞서 김 장관은 오 시장과 2차 회동을 한 뒤 페이스북에 오 시장을 향해 “용산 불가론만 고수해선 안 된다”면서 “청년과 신혼부부 등 서울의 미래를 생각해 열린 자세로 임해주시길 바란다”고 적었다. 또 “결과적으로 합의에 이르지 못했나 그린벨트에 대해 전향적으로 검토하겠다는 서울시의 입장에 환영을 표한다”이날 오전 김 장관과 오 시장은 서울 모처에서 만나 약 1시간 가량 용산공원 주택 공급에 대한 의견을 교환했지만 결론을 도출하지 못했다서울시는 어떤 경우에도 용산공원에 주택을 공급하기 어렵다는 입장인 반면, 국토부는 건물이 이미 들어서 있는 등 일부 훼손된 지역을 중심으로 주택을 공급하는 방안을 고수하고 있다.두 사람은 다음주 경 다시 만나 용산공원과 서울시가 제시한 탄천물재생센터 부지 등을 놓고 이견을 좁혀나갈 예정이다.。
