"Royal Engineers sappers have delivered crucial explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) training to Ukrainian soldiers to disable mines, munitions and other explosive devices that are being used in Ukraine and are currently one of the biggest threats to the safety of civilians in the country," the UK ministry reported. The package was developed based on feedback provided by Ukrainian sappers. Much of the training took place in an area designed to simulate conditions similar to those Ukrainian soldiers operate in, the statement read. Ukrainian soldiers have been taught to conduct a threat brief, plan mine-disposal operations, clear trench systems, bunkers and civilian buildings, the UK Defense ministry said. During the training, the soldiers used metal detectors and personnel mine extraction kits provided by the UK government. In addition, the United Kingdom provided over 1,500 sets of mine clearing and explosive ordnance disposal equipment, the ministry added. Over 23,500 Ukrainian soldiers have received training in the UK since the beginning of 2022. In 2023, the UK vowed to teach 20,000 more recruits from the Ukrainian armed forces, the statement read. Along with combat skills, Ukrainian soldiers have received other essential practical skills, including medical training to provide medical care.
