Lithuania, one of the most vocal Ukraine supporters and a critic of Moscow, has announced it will provide training to Ukrainian military instructors in the art of urban warfare, according to Ukraine Today.

The two-week long course for some 23 Ukrainian army coaches will include training in combat operations and shooting practice, Ukraine Today reports.

All the participants from Ukraine, who are to travel to Lithuania, have fought against combined Russian-separatist forces in Ukraine's Donbas region.
