Britain is intensifying its military support to Ukraine with a new aid package that includes naval drones, air defense systems and artillery, British Defense Secretary John Healey said Wednesday.
Training for Ukrainian soldiers under Operation Interflex, a Britain-led multinational military operation, will continue in 2025 regardless of the developments in Ukraine's peace process and a possible ceasefire, Healey said in an interview with the Ukrainian state Ukrinform news agency.
However, he said it is too early to publicly discuss the possibility of British support for deploying an international peacekeeping force in Ukraine.
Healey arrived in Kiev earlier in the day, local media reported.
