The new defence secretary, Grant Shapps, said he has held talks with army leaders about deploying British troops within Ukraine for the first time for a training programme.
Shapps, who met Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, for talks in Kyiv earlier this week, said the proposal being discussed would reduce the reliance on the UK and other Nato members’ bases.
The programme of training for Ukraine’s military, supported by 10 other nations, has taught skills to more than 26,500 recruits and is on track to have trained more than 30,000 soldiers by the end of the year, according to the UK’s Ministry of Defence.
In an interview with the Sunday Telegraph, Shapps also disclosed that he talked to Zelenskiy about how the navy could help to defend commercial vessels from Russian attacks in the Black Sea.

Then they’ll need troops to protect the trainers....and then more troops to protect those troops...
They shouldn’t. They defended Poland in WW2. At least they tried to.
It’s the old “advisors” ploy.
Hint: missiles are incoming.
"We blew up a Russian bridge! Whoopeee! Our offensive is in high gear now!"
This means that the British Special Forces will fight in Ukraine.
Excellent, more Middle Eastern Muslim Immigrant housing becomes available!
Not that the Limey Troops could be used to protect Limey Kids from those Muzzie Groomers freely roaming UK cities and towns.
Bugger that...
We are being bankrupted, disarmed, invaded, and poisoned (drugged) on purpose.
And the politicians laugh all the way to the bank.
“the first time for a training programme.”
BWAAAAAHAHAHA ...O man .... you would think that they could come up with SOMETHING new....
I guess they figure all the “military” age males are to young to remember..
probably right .... sad shame
The training excuse won’t fly. They’ve been training Ukrainians out of the country until now.
Walking face first into artillery fire doesn't take much training.
exactly, this is to bring American boots on the ground. The British military doesn’t sneeze without our permission.
>> This means that the British Special Forces will fight in Ukraine.
...and get wounded, killed, and captured.
Oh, good idea.......🙄🙄🙄
Quite right old boy. They tried to do the same for the Frenchies in 1940.
That was a sticky wicket.
And now they’re going to help the Ukrainians.
Jolly good. Tally Ho!
Smelling more like nam every day
When will brandon reinstate the draft?
Will he use DEI standards in the new draft?
“for FIRST TIME...says Grant Shapps”
LOL, seems that Shapps is hitting the Schnapps a bit too much.
And that’s what is desired (as we both know)
