The program is responding to the changing demands of the battlefield.
New modules are being introduced in aviation, medical, engineering, logistics, and helicopter training. British officials said in a press release from the UK Ministry of Defence that the upgrade is intended to strengthen the long-term capabilities of the Ukrainian armed forces. Since its launch in 2022, more than 63,000 Ukrainian soldiers have completed infantry courses, including 11,000 as military instructors.
Then-UK Defence Secretary John Healey said: “Now in the fifth year of Putin’s brutal war, it is clear that Ukraine’s training needs have changed since 2022. So it is right that the British training offer is also evolving.” The commander of Operation Interflex, Colonel Andy Boardman, emphasized the value of multinational cooperation: “The opportunity to work on such an important task with a large multinational coalition of nations, dedicated Ukrainian linguists, and personnel from across defence has been enormously rewarding.”
