The US army has dispatched around 300 troops to Ukraine allegedly to train the Ukrainian National Guard (NGU), which is fighting pro-Russia forces in the east of the country.
Meanwhile, Russia has denounced the move, saying Washington has crossed all possible lines in pursuit of its military and political ambitions.
In this edition of The Debate, Press TV has conducted an interview with Tony Gosling, an investigative journalist from Bristol, and Brent Budowsky, a columnist at The Hill newspaper from Washington, to discuss the latest developments of Ukraine.
