King Charles appeared hugely interested as he got a taste of the training regime experienced by Ukrainian military recruits temporarily in Britain. While in southwest England, the head of state witnessed how Ukrainian troops are being taught to attack enemy positions.
While the monarch was speaking with military personnel, troops could be seen in the distance crawling on the ground and reaching their objectives.
His Majesty was accompanied throughout the visit by Chief of General Staff General Sir Patrick Sanders but also met some of the international military personnel who joined forces with the UK to support the training of Ukraine’s troops.
The King also had the chance to speak with some Ukrainian soldiers taking part in the basic training.
The course for Ukrainian troops lasts for 35 days and provides them with essential teachings focused on lethality and survivability.
Among the main issues tackled during this training, Ukrainian soldiers learn medical care, weapon handling, basic fieldcraft and marksmanship.
As most of the recruits taking part in the course have little to no military experience, learning these skills is particularly important to them.
However, some of those on the course have already gained first-hand experience on the frontline.
The age of those joining the course varies, as does their working background.
