U.K. Prepares to Send Boots on the Ground to Ukraine
British Defense Minister Grant Shapps has declared Britain’s government is planning to deploy military instructors inside of Ukraine in order to train Ukrainian forces.
In an exclusive interview with Sunday Telegraph Newspaper, Shapps stated, “I was talking today about eventually getting the training brought closer and actually into Ukraine as well.”
The British Defense Minister continued “Particularly in the west of the country, I think the opportunity now is to bring more things in country.”
In total, Britain has trained over 20,000 Ukrainians over the last year alone but those training exercises were conducted outside of Ukraine.
According to leaked documents, there were at one point close to 50 UK special forces inside of Ukraine.
