Well, if the urban warfare is correct, then I see the sense. I would have thought though, that since these are absolutely raw recruits with no experience, then general training would have been more important, unless Ukraine is specifically targeting these troops at planned urban offensives (starting with Kherson ) over the coming months. That's just my own -otherwise uninformed -speculation though.
