Sweden will send its instructors to train the Ukrainian military

This was reported by the press service of the Swedish government.

The initiative to offer Ukrainian citizens basic military training came from the UK, which invited other countries that make up the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) and Canada to contribute. The government has now decided that Sweden will facilitate the training of the Ukrainian military,” the statement said.

Sweden plans to send about 120 instructors to Britain. They will stay there from August 12 to December 31, 2022. The Swedish part of the training will begin "as soon as practicable."

It is expected that about 10,000 citizens of Ukraine will take part in training in the UK. A maximum of 60 Swedish instructors will be there at the same time.
