Ukraine's training in the UK
Since the first months of Russia's full-scale war, Ukrainian soldiers have been undergoing various training programs in Britain.
A special training ground has been established in the UK to boost the effectiveness of Ukraine's military training and expand its urban warfare experience.
30,000 graduates of the UK-led training were also provided with the necessary equipment for the front line by the defense ministry.
Instructors from Australia helped the Ukrainian military practice proactive actions while passing a psychological strip in the middle of dense forests.
While Danish instructors train Ukrainian servicemen in positional warfare, they are practicing actions to prepare, seize, and hold a position.
Ukrainian combat medics are trained with the addition of special effects in Canada.
