The manoeuvres will take place on the Yavoriv training ground in the Lviv region, western Ukraine, from September 15 to 26 with the participation of about 1,300 servicemen from 15 countries.

Will this mean the crisis in Ukraine is about to be resolved? Over 1000 foreign troops to be sent to Ukraine as part of a preplanned training exercise to become a yearly event, including deployments from US and NATO allies.

I would think, that trained soldiers sent to Ukraine for training will assist in peacekeeping and counter-terrorism exercises in Ukraine if called upon, and if they come under attack, they have the whole arsenal of NATO at their disposal.
