Continuing Britain's support for Ukraine

This weekend, it was announced that Britain's ambitious new UK-based training programme for Ukrainian forces had begun, giving Ukrainian troops the skills and equipment they need to take on Russian aggression.

  • The brave Ukrainians volunteering to take on Russian aggression are willing to do whatever it takes to defend their homeland, but many have little to no military experience.
  • That is why we are starting an ambitious new training programme in the UK, with the first Ukrainian troops beginning a several week course, run by around 1,050 UK service personnel, that will give them the skills they need to be effective in frontline combat.
  • Using the world-class expertise of the British Army, we will help Ukraine to rebuild its forces and scale-up its resistance as they defend their country’s sovereignty and their right to choose their own future.
