  • Ukrainian troops trained by NATO say they are left underprepared for the war with Russia.
  • They said their Western instructors don't have experience in fighting this kind of war.
  • Western armies have been focused on fighting insurgencies in the Middle East in recent years.

Ukrainian troops trained by NATO are being left underprepared for the realities of the war with Russia, a report says.
