Image of Ukrainian trainees practising urban fighting techniques. Over the next few months, the UK will train thousands of Armed Forces of the Ukraine volunteer recruits using battle-proven British Army expertise. This is a large-scale, ambitious programme that will provide individuals with the necessary battlefield skills to defend their homeland. The military recruit courses will be conducted at several locations across the UK, using the existing MOD training estate. The training package will provide the volunteer recruits with battlefield skills- including weapons handling, marksmanship, field craft, first aid and law of armed conflict awareness. This course has been developed as a result of recent discussions between the UK and Ukrainian military leadership and builds upon the existing bilateral training agreements first enacted in 2015. Having well trained, well led and well cared for service personnel is key to success in the current conflict.
