Since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, 14,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been trained in Britain and then deployed to the front line, said Andrew Morrison, the British parliamentary under-secretary for defence, according to Sky News.

In the House of Commons, Morrison answered media questions about the war in Ukraine.

“Britain will support Ukraine as long as necessary and this year will spend another £2.3 billion on military support for Ukraine,” Morrison said.

Morrison also said that Britain is “taking the lead” in “every dimension” when it comes to seeking justice for Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine, Sky News writes.

According to the Kyiv Independent, many of Ukraine’s allies have provided the country with the weapons it needs to defeat Russia and have improved the Ukrainian military’s skills with Western weapons, which are different from Soviet weapons.

The chief diplomat of the European Union, Josep Borrell, said on April 21 that 16,000 more Ukrainian soldiers have been trained as part of the EU mission.

Also, on February 28, CNN reported that the US had trained more than 4,000 Ukrainian soldiers.
