Ukrainian troops are being trained on UK soil to use British armoured vehicles, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has confirmed.
“I can say that we’re currently training Ukrainians in Poland in the use of the anti-aircraft defences and actually in this country [the UK] in the use of the armoured vehicles,” he said on Thursday to reporters travelling with him in India.
