President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, together with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, met with Ukrainian warriors undergoing training in the United Kingdom.
The Head of State thanked the United Kingdom and all partners for the Interflex training program for Ukrainian troops, which was launched in June 2022 and now includes 13 participating countries.
“I am very grateful that you truly support Ukrainians and Ukrainian warriors, strengthening our army and helping Ukraine endure,” the President said.
Keir Starmer noted that while observing the training, he witnessed the high level of professionalism and dedication among Ukrainians.
“Some of you are undergoing training for the first time, some have been on the front lines, fought, and are now back for further training. I’m very proud that the United Kingdom has been leading this training effort for three years now and that, together, we’ve trained around 58,000 people,” he said.
The President and the Prime Minister spoke with the Ukrainian military about ways to improve training effectiveness and reach even more defenders of Ukraine.
Present at the meeting were service members taking part in two Interflex courses. The first is a basic military training course, where Ukrainian warriors are trained, in particular, as riflemen. The second course is designed for squad commanders. Upon completing the training, they will return to Ukraine and carry out combat missions in their respective units.
