Ukraine is losing up to 200 soldiers each day and it is important replacements can be trained in safety, away from the war.

With speed a priority given their country is at war, the Ukrainian recruits are being turned into infantrymen at a much faster pace than any peacetime British recruits. They were civilians who only took the decision to join the military in recent days and weeks. A majority of the recruits were men but one unit was said to be 20% female."I was sitting in my office and relaxed and used to drink my coffee, do my routine all the day and everything has changed since February 24," said the recruit, a father-of-one.

British instructors, paired with Ukrainian interpreters, bellowed orders to shoot at cardboard cut-outs of soldiers placed some 200 metres away across a field."Ten rounds, central target, in your own time fire!" the trainer said, prompting the Ukrainians to let rip. The lance corporal signalled he would prefer to be helping in Ukraine once again rather than remotely."Unfortunately, it is not up to me but I would love to go out there with them. We see them as brothers in arms here. We would see them as brothers in arms everywhere."The ratio of instructor to trainee that the UK can offer is about 1:10 or 1:15 - much higher than they would receive in Ukraine.

Your sending them to certain death - sue for peace

Disgrace

The UK is drawing itself into shit by becoming part of the Ukraine war - recruiting & training fighters for Zelensky, inside UK. The beginning of BJ’s war time dream - acting like Churchil, starts. When the war takes place in the UK, the stupid Brits don’t even know. 😱

I wonder if they checked for swastika tattoos, probably not, such is the UK's blind faith. Propaganda says - Ukraine 😇, Russia 👹 and the dumb masses believes it 🤯

Tbf they need to be taught to use the weapons we giving them but we need start sending old aircraft too.

Pure propaganda

Well done you guys in the UK 👏🏻👏🏻

Just more cannon fodder.

More propaganda. Best information on Ukraine is from Robert Barns find him on web site locals.

Well done UK!
