Johnson to Zelensky: “We are ready to train thousands of Ukrainians”
The UK is ready to launch a massive operation to train thousands of Ukrainian military personnel. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said this to President Volodymyr Zelensky during his second surprise visit to Kiev since the beginning of the Russian invasion. London, in collaboration with allied countries, could train up to 10,000 soldiers every 120 days. For Johnson, this initiative has all the prerequisites to change the situation on the pitch. Johnson, proposing his plan to Zelensky, said he wanted to send a “clear and simple” message to the Ukrainian people: “The UK is on your side and will be until you prevail.” And he added: “While Ukrainian soldiers launch British missiles in defense of their nation’s sovereignty, they also do so in defense of the very freedoms we take for granted.” Therefore, in his opinion, “an important military training program” is needed that could “change the balance of power” with the Russians “by exploiting the Ukrainian determination to win”. The project, which would not take place in Ukraine but abroad to ensure safety conditions, provides for each soldier to spend three weeks learning better front-line combat skills, basic medical training as well as basic medical training in a course. cyber security. British Army personnel, an official Downing Street note read, could thus accelerate the deployment of Ukrainian forces and increase their resistance against Moscow troops.
