Prime Minister, Boris Johnson has announced that the UK will oversee a new three-week training programme for Ukrainian soldiers that would “fundamentally change the equation of the war”.
In a statement released by Downing Street on Friday, Johnson is quoted as saying: “As Ukrainian soldiers fire UK missiles in defence of your nation’s sovereignty, they do so also in defence of the very freedoms we take for granted. That is why I have offered President Zelenskyy a major new military training program that could change the equation of this war – harnessing that most powerful of forces, the Ukrainian determination to win.”
According to Downing Street, the program has the potential to train up to 10,000 soldiers every 120 days, with each soldier spending three weeks on the training course outside of Ukraine, learning battle winning skills for the front line, as well as basic medical training, c
