UK Defence Secretary Suggests Sending British Troops to Ukraine on Training Missions

The United Kingdom’s recently installed defense secretary, Grant Shapps has suggested that British troops could be deployed inside Ukraine for the first time to carry out military training programs. 

The defense secretary, who met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv earlier this week, said that potentially sending British troops into the country could reduce the need for British and other NATO bases to be used for training Ukrainian soldiers.
