First Group Of Ukrainian Soldiers Begin Training In Britain
The first group of an expected 10,000 Ukrainian military recruits to receive training in the United Kingdom in the upcoming months have arrived in Britain and begun exercises, the Defense Ministry said.
Defense officials on July 9 said 1,050 British service personnel will train the inexperienced Ukrainian volunteers at several locations across Britain for several weeks.
Defense Minister Ben Wallace met with the recruits earlier in the week, telling them that "this ambitious new training program is the next phase in the U.K.'s support to the armed forces of Ukraine in their fight against Russian aggression.”
The Ukrainians will undergo Britain's basic soldier training program, featuring weapons handling, battlefield first aid, field craft, patrol tactics, and the laws around armed conflict, the British ministry said.
