UK starts training Ukrainian conscripts

The first rotation of Ukrainian soldiers has arrived in the UK as part of a program which aims to train up to 10,000 Ukrainian recruits, Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said in a statement, reported from Voice of America. 

"Training will take place on military training areas across the North East, South West, and South East regions. The training will be conducted by elements from the 11th Security Force Assistance Brigade," the statement said.

"These Ukrainian soldiers will undertake courses based on the UK's basic soldier training. This includes weapons training, battlefield first aid, fieldcraft, patrol tactics, and training on the Law of Armed Conflict. Each course will last several weeks."
