LONDON (AP) — Britain’s new defense secretary has suggested that British military training of Ukrainian soldiers, which currently takes place in U.K. bases, could move into western Ukraine.
He added that U.K. defense companies should consider setting up production in Ukraine.
“Particularly in the west of the country, I think the opportunity now is to bring more things in country, and not just training.
We’re seeing BAE, for example, move into manufacturing in country,” he said, referring to the leading British defense and aerospace manufacturer.
“I’m keen to see other British companies do their bit as well by doing the same thing.”___For more coverage of the war in Ukraine, visit: https://apnews.com/hub/russia-ukraine
