NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg joined British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace in the south-eastern town of Lydd where Ukrainian troops are being trained by British, Canadian and Lithuanian forces.

NATO's press service said this in a press release, Ukrinform reports.

"I am confident that this [training] will make a difference on the battleground," Stoltenberg said.

At Lydd, the Secretary General also met Ukrainian troops and praised them for their commitment and bravery as they continue to push back against Russia's brutal and unprovoked war of aggression.

While in the United Kingdom, Stoltenberg is also meeting with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Foreign Secretary James Cleverly in London, with talks expected to focus on Russia's war against Ukraine and the continued adaptation of the Alliance.

Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are undergoing training in the UK as part of Operation Interflex. About 10,000 Ukrainian servicemen are to be trained.
