Operation Interflex, which has seen some 56,000 Ukrainian troops trained on British soil, is to receive another cash injection this year, it has been announced.
Defence Secretary John Healey said the UK would spend a further £247 million on teaching the eastern European state’s military personnel as the government announced more aid to help counter the illegal Russian invasion.
The mission has taken place across the defence estate since 2022, with instructors from 13 partner nations. Meanwhile, MoD officials have confirmed that Britain is on course to deliver 100,000 drones to Ukraine in a £350 million package.
Tens of thousands of artillery rounds are additionally being sent to the battlefield. Healey said: “We are learning lessons every day from the front line in Ukraine.”
