He added that the first Ukrainian servicemen who have undergone appropriate training are successfully performing combat missions as part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine brigades.
Addition
In response to Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, the British government provides Ukraine with military aid in the amount of 2.3 billion pounds.
This includes a commitment to lead an innovative program which aims to train up to 10,000 Ukrainian recruits in the UK.
Training takes place at military training grounds in the North-East, South-West and South-East regions. The training will be conducted by units of the 11th Brigade of Assistance to the Security Forces.
The program aims to provide volunteer recruits with little or no military experience with the skills to effectively conduct combat operations on the front lines. Based on UK military training, the course covers weapons handling, battlefield first aid, field techniques, patrol tactics and the law of armed conflict.
On July 6, the first group of Ukrainian military personnel arrived in the country to receive training from British instructors.
