The United Kingdom will continue the Interflex training program for Ukrainian military personnel until the end of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is according to\u00a0Bloomberg<\/a>, citing a statement from the UK Ministry of Defence, Ukrinform reports.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Interflex program, which provides both combat and leadership training, will be extended at least through the end of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 50,000 Ukrainian recruits have already undergone training in the UK under the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will continue to step up our support alongside allies, so that Ukraine can defend today and deter tomorrow. In the face of ongoing Russian attacks, we must put Ukraine\u2019s armed forces in the strongest possible position. And as the push for peace continues, we must make the Ukrainians into the strongest possible deterrent to secure that future peace,\u201d said Defence Secretary John Healey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported, Operation Interflex is a training program for new recruits of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with little or no prior military experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The multinational mission involves top instructors from the armed forces of the United Kingdom, Australia, Denmark, Canada, Lithuania, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Finland, and Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
