Ukraine: Military Aid

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Ukrainian military personnel from the Ukrainian Armed Forces Shkval Battalions have been trained in the UK.

Answered by Luke Pollard

With regard to Op INTERFLEX, our major training operation for Ukrainian forces, the data held by INTERFLEX Headquarters is limited due to the closed nature of the questions which are asked when Ukrainian troops arrive, and we do not specifically track or ask which units individuals come from.

Over 54,000 Ukrainian personnel have been trained under Operation INTERFLEX since June 2022.
