The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many recruits for the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been trained by (a) UK armed forces and (b) international partners based in the UK since 2014.

Answered by Luke Pollard

This Government is proud of the role UK forces have played in training Ukrainian Armed Forces recruits.

Since Putin's invasion of Crimea in 2014, the UK has trained over 77,000 Ukrainian personnel. This includes.

· Op ORBITAL (2015-2022) - Over 22,000 Ukrainian personnel.

· Op INTERFLEX (2022-ongoing) - Over 47,000 Ukrainian personnel.

· Wider medical, specialist, air, and maritime training (2022-ongoing) - Over 8,000 Ukrainian personnel.

This training has been provided in collaboration with twelve partner nations. We do not hold data for the total number of Ukrainian personnel trained by international partners since 2014.
