UK is committed to training more Ukrainian troops than initially planned.

UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace mentioned this on Thursday, CNN reports.

This statement was made at the end of the donor conference on supporting Ukraine in Copenhagen, Denmark.

When asked whether the UK could by October train more Ukrainian troops than the 10,000 initially outlined, he said:

“I think we’re committed now to really going beyond that. We are going to train more and for longer.”

Wallace also shared that the actions of the international community to help Ukraine “are still on an upward trajectory.”

“There is no fatigue on the actions. We started off with basic handheld weapons and debates about whether or not training people would be provocative. Six months later, we’re into discussions about how many helicopters the international community has provided, how many fixed-wing aircraft the international community has provided, and how many GMLRS and HIMARS. If you judge us by our actions, the international community, the appetite is still upwards, not downwards,” he said.

Speaking at the same press conference, Ukraine’s Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov noted that it’s important to make continued support to Ukraine “sustainable” because the warehouses or storage “is not endless in every country.”

As previously reported, in June, during a visit to Kyiv, the Prime Minister of Great Britain offered Ukraine assistance in training military personnel.

Subsequently, Britain invited other partner countries to contribute to the training of the Ukrainian servicemen.

Finland, Sweden, and Canada, as well as Denmark and Norway, previously announced their participation in training programs for the Ukrainian servicemen in Great Britain.

Today, the news came out that Great Britain handed over an additional M270 multiple launch rocket system to Ukraine. This armament equipped with modern high-precision missiles will strengthen the capacity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in a full-scale war with Russia.
