British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has revealed that Ukrainian troops are being trained in the UK on how to use the armored vehicles Britain offers to fight Russian troops.
“We are currently training Ukrainians in Poland to use air defense, and in the UK to use armored vehicles.”he told reporters traveling with him on his visit to India.
Johnson’s press secretary said two dozen Ukrainian soldiers were currently in the UK for training. He added that Ukrainian troops began training with vehicles donated by Britain this month.
Britain is providing Ukraine with 120 armored patrol vehicles, including the Mastiff, which could be used as a reconnaissance or patrol vehicle. Soldiers will also be shown how to use the Samaritan ambulance and Sultan and Samson reconnaissance armored vehicles.
“It’s reasonable for them to get the training they need to make the most of it,” the spokesman said. “We are always aware of anything that is perceived to be escalating, but clearly what is escalating is the actions of the Putin regime.”
