Interflex is part of a larger international support program involving several other countries, including Canada, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Denmark, and other NATO allies. The United Kingdom offers diverse training solutions, such as:
- infantry tactics and combat skills;
- medical training on the battlefield;
- use of small arms and military equipment;
- urban warfare tactics and defensive techniques;
- skills for handling mines and explosives.
Instructors from participating countries conduct training with Ukrainian soldiers on United Kingdom territory. An intensive training program is completed in a short time to achieve new levels of confidence, refining skills, knowledge, and experience.
The Interflex mission is one of many initiatives created to provide Ukraine with critical military aid and support its military efforts against Russia’s full-scale aggression.
