British military personnel have started training members of the Ukrainian army fighting pro-Russian rebels, the BBC reports.

 According to the source, 35 British trainers are now in Ukraine and train Ukrainian Army in medicine and defensive tactics and give non-lethal equipment.

 British Prime Minister David Cameron agreed this deal a month ago with Ukrainian authorities. It was strongly criticized by the Russian side.  

 This is the first long-term military training program in Ukraine since the beginning of the crisis in Ukraine.
