It is noted that Zelenskyy thanked Great Britain and all partners for the "Interflex" training program for Ukrainian military personnel, which began in June 2022 and has already involved 13 countries.
I am very grateful that you truly support Ukrainians, Ukrainian soldiers, strengthening our army and helping Ukraine to stand firm
In turn, Starmer noted that, while observing the training, he saw a high level of professionalism and dedication from the Ukrainians.
Some of you are new to training, some have been on the front lines, fought, and are now back for further training. I am very proud that Great Britain has played a leading role in these exercises for three years and that together we have trained about 58,000 people
It is indicated that Zelenskyy and Starmer spoke with Ukrainian military personnel. The conversation focused on how to increase the effectiveness of training and include even more defenders of Ukraine.
"Military personnel undergoing training in two 'Interflex' courses were present at the meeting. The first course is basic general military training, where Ukrainian soldiers learn, in particular, to be riflemen. The second course is for squad commanders. After graduation, they will return to Ukraine and perform combat missions in their units," the article says.
