The Ukrainian Armed Forces' General Staff reported this. 

"Ukrainian navy divers and explosives experts have been training in the UK with their Royal Navy counterparts. They were taught to find, disarm and defuse Russian bombs and mines to keep their territorial seas and waterways safe for shipping," the statement says. 

Ukrainian divers have learned to use the REMUS unmanned underwater vehicle to identify potentially dangerous objects on the seabed.

The General Staff expressed gratitude to the UK for its support and assistance.
