The British military will help provide basic training to Ukrainian recruits, The Times wrote.
British military leadership is considering the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine to train recruits. The British newspaper The Times reported this, citing its sources.
The British military will help provide basic training to Ukrainian recruits before they head to the front lines in the east of the country.
This decision made it possible to solve some of the logistical problems associated with sending Ukrainian military personnel to British bases for training, as well as to save money.
The media said that as part of a multinational military operation named Interflex tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers were trained in the UK. According to British Defense Secretary John Gealey, the “biggest obstacle” to Ukrainian training is “Ukraine’s provision of personnel for training.”
According to another source, sending British troops to Ukraine instead of training at military bases in the UK would be “cheaper and more efficient”.
“We can do (training, – ed.) faster there, and it’s very far from the front line, in remote areas, so the risk is lower,” the source said.
A Ukrainian military source said that moving the exercises to Ukraine would be a “powerful military-political signal” for other countries and Russia itself. It will also mark the beginning of the “de facto” deployment of NATO military infrastructure on Ukrainian territory and will be a “powerful deterrent.”
Such a decision would also allow the British military to learn combat skills from the Ukrainian military and allow them to test the latest weapons developed for the war.
The Ukrainian side hopes that British leaders will persuade France to follow suit and conduct exercises in Ukraine after discussions in Paris appeared stalled for political reasons.
As already written, the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky met in London with the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and presented him with the details of the Victory Plan.
We remind you that Zelensky said that in the near future he will hold meetings with the leaders of Great Britain, France, Italy, and Germany.
