What I don't quite understand is, how can British troops - which have no fighting experience - reasonably train Ukrainian troops which now have 1.5 years of experience on the exact ground the new guys will be fighting?
Iirc many eastern European countries are sending more equipment and weapons per capita than the US like Poland.
Yeah but they don't have the cultural and media power of the US.
