What began as a training program for the Ukrainian armed forces after the start of Russia’s war of aggression four years ago, is now a valuable opportunity for co-learning. In the United Kingdom, Ukrainian soldiers are receiving advanced training as part of "Operation Interflex." Many of them bring invaluable experience directly from the front lines. British instructors are also benefitting from Ukrainian soldiers’ knowledge of modern combat tactics, drone operations and the real-world expertise in trench warfare. At the same time, Ukrainians soldiers are acquiring leadership skills for their units — and learning how to cope with the traumatic experiences of war. This creates an intensive exchange in knowledge that prepares both sides for future missions.
