British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak assured that there are currently no plans to send British instructors to Ukraine to train the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the corresponding statement by the head of the Ministry of Defense Grant Shapps was misunderstood.
— I think this is being reported untruthfully… The Secretary of Defense has talked about the possibility that one day in the future we will be able to conduct some of this training in Ukraine. But this is for the long term, not here and now, — he noted.
At the same time, Sunak stressed that British soldiers cannot participate in hostilities in Ukraine.

— What we do is train Ukrainians. We do it here in the UK. This is something that everyone should be proud of because it makes a huge difference,— summed up the head of the British government.
Earlier, The Telegraph reported that British Defense Minister Grant Shapps suggested that British troops could train the Ukrainian military in Ukraine.
According to him, he discussed with the military the transfer of most training to Ukraine and the possibility of helping the fleet protect commercial ships in the Black Sea.
