"A new international F-16 fighter jet squadron staffed by Ukrainian, US and Dutch pilots has been assembled in Ukraine. The western pilots, who are working under temporary contracts, are helping the Ukrainian pilots to master the aircraft's technical advantages."

But they are also coordinating and participating in (flight) missions. So not only training it seems.

They are only getting to know the Ukrainian " haute couture" and local customs. Nothing to see here.
