Denmark to help train Ukrainian soldiers in Britain

Denmark will send 130 instructors to the United Kingdom to help train Ukrainian soldiers.

The Danish Ministry of Defense said this in a press release, Ukrinform reports.

"Denmark will support a British-led training project with 130 Danish soldiers and simultaneously offers to train Ukrainian soldiers in Denmark. Therefore a dialog with Ukraine has been initiated regarding support in educating commanders and support to the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Force," the ministry said.

It added that in 2022, Denmark will allocate DKK 100 million (about $137,000) to the project to support the training of the Ukrainian military.

Earlier, Sweden and Finland announced that they would send their instructors to Britain to train the Ukrainian military.

The first group of Ukrainian military personnel arrived in the UK in early July to take part in a new major military training program.

The course includes training in weapons handling, battlefield first aid, fieldcraft, patrol tactics, and the law of armed conflict.
