A BRITISH-TRAINED, outlawed far-right Ukrainian militia arrived at the Donbass front line along with Polish mercenaries on Monday, according to intelligence reports, as Western aggression in Ukraine continues.

Two groups from the so-called Right Sector — a nationalist paramilitary organisation banned in the Ukranian city of Donetsk — have joined the 54th and 56th Brigade units in the northern and western approaches to the separatist region.

The nationalist militia was trained by British instructors before their deployment to Donbass, according to Donetsk People’s Republic Militia deputy commander, Eduard Basurin.
