Ukrainian army continues military drills despite ceasefire Ukrainian paratroopers of the 95 airmobile brigade took part Thursday in military drills in the Zhytomyr region, some 150 km from Kiev. The newly-mobilised soldiers took part in a combat training prior leaving for the east of the country to take part in an Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO). A senior Ukrainian defence official said on September 11 there was no contradiction between President Petro Poroshenko's announcement of a major Russian troop withdrawal and NATO's assertion that 1,000 Kremlin troops remained in the eastern war zone.
