KIEV, 22 April, 2021 (TON): With a goal to strengthen the Ukrainian Navy, Ukraine and Britain have reached an agreement on expanding the Orbital training mission, the media reported on Wednesday.
Britain-led Operation Orbital, a training program for the Ukrainian armed forces, was established in 2015 following the request of the Ukrainian authorities.
On 19-20 April, during the visit of the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Ruslan Khomchak to Britain, this agreement was reached with his meeting with the British Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Nick Carter.
Khomchak thanked Britain for its assistance in increasing the combat capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and their compatibility with NATO troops.
In response, Carter said the British Armed Forces had trained over 20,000 Ukrainian servicemen as part of bilateral military cooperation.
However, the British side led the initiative to train the Ukrainian Navy and support defense reform in Ukraine.
