14,000 soldiers return to Ukraine after training in UK
UK Defence Minister Andrew Murrison says that 14,000 Ukrainian servicemen have returned to defend their homeland after receiving training in the UK
This is reported by Sky News.
“As I said in my opening remarks, the Ukraine recovery conference in June proves that it's a process the UK has been instrumental in. We led the International Fund for Ukraine in instigating it and £520m, of which £300m has been expended, is really quite an achievement,” he noted.
According to him, the United Kingdom is helping to investigate Russia's war crimes and has trained 14,000 Ukrainian servicemen who have already returned home to defend their country.
“The UK will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes and will spend another £2.3bn on military support to Ukraine this year,” Andrew Murrison added.
