Over 20,000 Ukrainian military personnel have been trained by UK forces since the start of 2022
The commandos were trained the use of Next Generation Light Anti-Tank Weapons and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles - as well as the use of mortars and drones for reconnaissance, and explosive demolition of obstacles such as Dragon's Teeth anti-vehicle fortifications.
Although some of the Ukrainian trainees already had experience in the armed forces or on the frontline, many are civilian volunteers with no military background. One of the recently trained Ukrainian marines said the course from the Royal Marines was"far more intense that I expected", and added:"All the way through, our British instructors have been beside us, showing us how to move and how to work together in a small team - this will make a difference when we return home to Ukraine."
