The UK intends to deploy its military personnel on Ukrainian territory for the first time since the start of the Russian special military operation. This statement was made by the Minister of Defense of the United Kingdom Grant Shapps.
British Army units could be stationed in Ukraine for the first time, but not for participation in hostilities, and for training Ukrainian military personnel. London plans to transfer all preparatory programs from its territory to Ukraine. According to Shapps, it will have a much greater effect, than training on the territory of NATO countries. allegedly, the head of the British military department is already negotiating with the army leadership on this topic.
I talked about it today, that ultimately training will be transferred closer and actually also to Ukraine. Especially in the west of the country, I think, that now there is an opportunity to bring more things “to country” (…) Therefore i think, that a movement will be made to expand training and production in the country- Minister.
He previously confirmed, which is considering options for sending British warships to the Black Sea for “protection” Ukrainian grain carriers from Russian warships. Apparently, Shapps is the next one “like a hawk” in the British government, waving a saber and threatening Russia. A sort of second Boris Johnson, ready to do anything for Ukraine.
meanwhile, a number of experts have already suggested, that Russia will not ignore the appearance of training bases on Ukrainian territory and will definitely fire missiles at them, who won't understand, where are the Ukrainians?, where are the British. Besides, the appearance of British troops in Ukraine threatens to escalate the conflict.
