The internal document justifies sending military personnel to Ukraine by Russia's "ongoing military activities." Ukrainian foreign and defence ministers reportedly asked for the training program in July in a letter addressed to EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell.

Russia denied claims by Ukraine and its Western allies that it amassed troops on its western border in spring to invade Ukraine. A Russian presidential spokesperson said in April that Russia was free to move military personnel anywhere within its borders. (ANI/Sputnik)
