Russia-Ukraine war: UK training programme gets under way

  1. When I went through RAF officer training a number of years ago, we had Ukrainian guys on our course.

    They had already seen action as non-commissioned soldiers beforehand, and their stories were incredibly eye opening to the realities of war against the separatists. Absolutely brutal.

    They’d certainly had a very different life experience since 2014 to most of the British officer cadets, who’d predominantly come straight from university. They’d also seen more combat than most of the instructors.
