US special forces instructors from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Border Patrol (BORTAC) train the instructors from Interior Ministry special force rapid reaction unit "Sokil" who will later share the knowledge with fighters from KORD - Ukraine's newly established police special force unit.

This was announced by Interior Ministry spokesman Artem Shevchenko on his Facebook page, Censor.NET reports.

"Our guys say that the number of shooting drills they've done during the past two weeks considerably exceeds what they previously had during several months. Competitiveness in each exercise is the main principle of the training," he said.

Shevchenko also published photos of drills.
