A US-led multinational1 military drill is underway in western Ukraine, near the border with Poland.

乌克兰西部与波兰接壤的附近地区，美国领导的一次多国军事演习正在进行中。

 
The exercise called Rapid Trident involves more than 1,800 soldiers from 18 countries, most of them NATO members, and will last until the end of July. 
 
The drill is taking place at the request of the Ukrainian government at a time when the situation in the country's east remains2 tense. 
 
The immediate3 aim is to bolster4 the morale5 of Ukrainian forces involved in the ongoing6 15-month conflict with militants7 in eastern Ukraine. 
 
MP Platoon Leader Hannah Martins says the conflict adds realism to the war games. 
 
"Well, the fact that there is actually very real fighting going on in the east of Ukraine really galvanizes the mission that we are doing, really makes it relevant. It really adds some realism to training to know that some of these Ukrainian forces just came back from there or just about to go there. So, it really adds realism."
