"U.S. Special Forces and Texas Rangers will arrive in Ukraine. We have a relevant agreement with them, and they will work together with our team of instructors and train them. After that, when the new team of Ukrainian trainers is ready, we will begin the selection and re-training of all members of the special forces into a single special unit named KORD," Avakov said.
