Ukrainian soldiers training in UK to use British armoured vehicles

Boris Johnson has revealed that dozens of Ukrainian soldiers are training in the UK, learning how to use 120 British armoured vehicles before returning with them to fight in the war againstBritish forces are also training Ukrainian counterparts in Poland on how to use anti-aircraft missiles, the prime minister said, as he outlined further details of the UK’s military aid for Kyiv’s embattled forces.

This week the Pentagon said it would train some Ukrainians to use a first batch of 18 US howitzers “outside the country” before the weapons could be used on the battlefield. Russia is gradually massing forces in the Donbas region in the east of Ukraine, where western officials believe Moscow already has a three to one advantage over the defenders. Although it is not clear if Russian forces can break through, the US and UK are bracing themselves for a long period of arms supply.

Britain has agreed to send at least 120 armoured vehicles, 80 of which are the Mastiff, Husky and Wolfhound protected mobility vehicles, which the British army says are designed to be used in “combat, combat support and combat service roles” driving troops behind and up to the frontlines.
