Inside Operation Interflex: The training of Ukrainian troops on British soil | BBC News

From BBC News.

The UK has announced a stepping up of its international leadership in the support of Ukraine into 2025, with a new £225m package of military support.

But it’s not just weapons and aid that the UK and its allies are providing.

A programme known as Operation Interflex has now trained more than 51,000 Ukrainian troops on British soil, as soldiers work to defend their homeland from Russia’s illegal invasion.

The BBC has been granted inside access to the final two days of a high intensity five-day exercise at a military facility in the East of England.

Former Assault Helicopter pilot with the British Armed Forces & host of The Security Brief programme, Mikey Kay, takes us behind the scenes of the world’s largest training programme for Ukrainian troops.
