I guess maybe these guys will be deployed well behind the lines guarding depots and stuff. But I have a hard time seeing how they could be deployed on the front lines or in areas where they have to maneuver and coordinate with regular forces.
The West have been training the Ukrainian Military for years. Clearly they can communicate. I didn't speak Spanish/Polish/Nepalese or well I'm not sure specifically what langue Jordians speak, but we all worked affectively.

All you need is some liaison officers to work with this units and you are away. You don't need to worry about training these individuals on simple soldiering skills. You can point them in the direction and let them go.

I certainly wouldn't leave well training and highly motivated troops guarding stuff in the rear. Those boys are there to kills Russians. The Ukrainians need to facilitate that.

Edit: if they are green individuals without any experience then all bets are off
