LONDON, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Britain's government wants to deploy military instructors to Ukraine, in addition to training Ukrainian armed forces in Britain or other Western countries as at present, British defence minister Grant Shapps said.
To date, Britain and its allies have avoided a formal military presence in Ukraine, to reduce the risk of a direct conflict with Russia.
Britain has provided five-week military training courses to around 20,000 Ukrainians over the past year, and intends to train a similar number going forward.
Shapps added that he hoped British defence companies such as BAE Systems (BAES.L) would proceed with plans to set up arms factories in Ukraine.

The Ukraine has been winning for AGES now.
I wonder why the Brits are going there…
Maybe for the victory celebration?

The front is getting pushed further and further back all the time.
Logistically, makes sense to train people on their own soil, in areas that are safe from enemy fire.

Not really news.
There have been limited special forces deployed to Ukraine from both US/UK for training purposes, logistics, and security advisement for quite some time.

Why send British troops to train Ukraine soldiers, instead of continuing to train Ukraine soldiers on British soil?
