Satellite images show expanding mass graves in Mariupol; Putin cancels storming of steel plant; Kremlin says ‘don’t worry’ about British pair

Ukrainian troops are in the UK being trained on how to use the armoured vehicles Britain is supplying to repel Vladimir Putin’s forces.

More than 20 soldiers arrived last week for training on the 120 vehicles being supplied to Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s resistance, an official confirmed.

As well as being trained on the Mastiff, Wolfhound and Husky armoured vehicles, the Ukrainians will be shown how to use the Samaritan ambulance, and Sultan and Samson armoured reconnaissance vehicles.

Boris Johnson confirmed for the first time that Ukrainian forces were in the UK while in India, where he will press for a loosening of ties with Russia.

“I can say that we’re currently training Ukrainians in Poland in the use of the anti-aircraft defences and actually in this country (the UK) in the use of the armoured vehicles,” he said.

Further Ukrainian forces are expected to be making their way to the UK for training in the future.

The PM’s press secretary said “a couple of dozen” Ukrainians were currently in the UK.
