The UK has announced extending its training programs for Ukrainian soldiers until the end of next year. In a statement on Saturday, the British Ministry of Defense said that the five-week program focuses on teaching newly-recruited soldiers the basics of using weapons, performing first aid, surveillance tactics and survival in harsh environment. Since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the UK had trained over 45,000 Ukrainian soldiers and officers. The country also pledged to provide annual military aid worth three billion sterling (USD four billion). Source: Kuwait News Agency
