British SAS troops have been training Ukrainian soldiers in Kyiv in how to use British-supplied NLAW anti-tank missile launchers, it has been reported.
The training marks the first time British forces have been instructing their Ukrainian counterparts since Russia's Vladimir Putin launched his invasion on February 24.
Two officers from separate battalions stationed both in and around the country's capital told The Times that British Special Forces had trained their troops on two occasions over the last fortnight.
Reports of the British training came after Russian TV warned that Western involvement in the war - such as supplying weapons to Ukraine and training its military - meant that World War Three had already begun.
Since February, the United Kingdom has delivered more than 3,600 Next generation Light Anti-tank Weapons (NLAWs) to Ukraine, with Kyiv requesting more following reports that they had proven highly effective against Russian armour.
Reports of the training came after U.S. President Joe Biden announced an additional $800 million in military assistance to Ukraine on Wednesday.
The package, which brings the total military aid since Russian forces invaded to more than $2.5 billion, includes artillery systems, artillery rounds, armoured personnel carriers and unmanned coastal defence boats.
The new package includes 11 Mi-17 helicopters that had been earmarked for Afghanistan before the U.S.-backed government collapsed last year.
It also includes 18 155mm howitzers, along with 40,000 artillery rounds, counter-artillery radars, 200 armoured personnel carriers and 300 additional 'Switchblade' drones.
This was the first time howitzers have been provided to Ukraine by the United States.
Rossiya 1 presenter Olga Skabeyeva said the 'escalation' could 'safely be called World War Three' and warned Russians 'we are we're definitely fighting against... NATO itself'.

Yay!!
Klaus Schwab did say that he hates whites enough to kill them.
Will it be another biden promise fulfilled; as mushrooms dot the sky ?
I want to clarify that the comment about “WWIII has already started” came from a Russian TV presenter. One person. Not an official statement from government, just one person’s opinion on tv
BY this definition it should be WW4. Weapons were supplied to the Taliban during the Soviet invasion.
Daily Mail = $*** stirrer... and Kardashian’s fat azz in a bikini đź‘™
My wife asked me what happens if Russia uses a nuke? I told her WWIII will be over in 30 minutes.
If we send billions more to Zelensky he will save us.....
“BY this definition it should be WW4. Weapons were supplied to the Taliban during the Soviet invasion.”
Probably more like WW18. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Korea, Greece, Congo, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Colombia.
There have been a pile of times where one side has funded and trained the opponents of the other power.
Loose Lips Sink Ships and could start an unwanted escalation. Just SHUT THE F UP and do it.
Might take twenty minutes to move all off pads plus delivery time. I guess 50 minutes
…And this is what he said on
His way to Armageddon:
So long, mom,
I’m off to drop the bomb,
So don’t wait up for me.
But though I may roam,
I’ll come back to my home
Although it may be
A pile of debris.
Remember, mommy,
I’m off to get a commie,
So send me a salami
And try to smile somehow.
I’ll look for you when the war is over,
An hour and a half from now!
Joe Biden announced an additional $800 million

Sooooo,,,
80 million for the ‘ big guy’ ?
No wonder the commander in theif wants this war.
Ukraine is a shadow member of NATO.
Did you also tell her she, you and your loved ones will in all
likelihood be dying in horrific ways after those 30
minutes?
—> If we send billions more to Zelensky he will save us.....
Hey! That’s exactly how climate change works!
Send the government $…
the same warning was used bythe germans in the WW1 buildup.
how soon before “THE LUSITANIA OF 2022” gets sunk?
Aren’t we all supposed to be dead in 11 months anyways from the Vaxx?
Remember Vietnam, Putin; payback is a bitch.
—”Remember Vietnam, Putin; payback is a bitch.”
