In the past year, 16 UK teams have trained 2,000 members of the UAF at ten training sites across the country.

The MoD has revealed plans to train another 300 UAF personnel, extending the programme by another year.

Britain has already enhanced the training programme in Ukraine to include additional infantry, medical and survival skills, as well as increased the number of Ukrainian soldiers being trained.
