UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said Thursday that Britain is on track to train more Ukrainian troops than it first planned, CNN has reported.
When asked whether the UK could train more Ukrainian troops than the 10,000 by October as initially outlined, he said: "I think we're committed now to really going beyond that. We are going to train more and for longer."
Speaking at a news conference in Copenhagen after an international donor conference to provide aid to Ukraine to help boost its military capabilities to fight against Russia, he said: "There is no fatigue on the actions. We started off with basic handheld weapons and debates about whether or not training people would be provocative. Six months later, we're into discussions about how many helicopters the international community has provided, how many fixed-wing aircraft the international community has provided, how many GMLRS and HIMARS. If you judge us by our actions, the international community, the appetite is still upwards not downwards."
