As conflicts escalateAs Russian attacks on strategic cities in Ukraine intensify, the news could make the climate even more severe inside and outside the region. British troops may have worked on behalf of Ukrainians on the ground in Kyiv – marking the first direct involvement of NATO member forces in the conflict.

In an interview with the British daily The temperatureSaid two Ukrainian commanders Capital forces Trained with the British Army. On the same day, without mentioning the statement, the Russian government announced that it was banning British Prime Minister Boris Johnson from entering the territory.

According to officers from two Ukrainian battalions, British special forces had gone to the area to use an accidental maneuver to deal with the Next Generation Anti-Light Tank (NLAW). Before the help, Ukrainian activists asked for help from videos on the Internet.

“We had to go to YouTube to learn in five to seven minutes of lessons (…), after which we received good training,” said Captain Yuri Myronenko, whose battalion was camped in the Obolon area. , on the northern outskirts of kyiv.

British officials were reportedly in Ukraine two weeks ago and “trained the Ukrainians very well”, Myronenko said. “We won. Now we have confidence,” he told The Times. Ukraine’s military has more than 3,600 weapons, which helped prevent Russian tank attacks, officials said. This information was confirmed by the second commander of the Ukrainian special forces, Schiff.

According to a British newspaper, the 112th army battalion attached to his unit received training last week. “They’re good guys, the English,” said Schiff’s deputy commander, nicknamed the Bear. “They invited us to come and see them after the war was over,” he revealed. These requests have not been confirmed by the British Ministry of Defense which, according to the former conference, says it has not commented on the special measures.

“calculation errors”

The presence of British troops in the country is not new: troops were sent after the invasion of Crimea in 2014, but were withdrawn last February to avoid a direct confrontation with Russia, which includes NATO in the current conflict. Early last month, Boris Johnson announced that there were no circumstances justifying NATO’s direct involvement in the war in Eastern Europe. “It is very important to understand that NATO is a defensive alliance. It is a time of miscalculations and misunderstandings,” he said at the time.

The Prime Minister and other British officials were banned from entering Russian territory yesterday. “This decision responds to unrestricted information and political propaganda aimed at deliberately isolating Russia and strangling our economy,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Last month, US President Joe Biden was targeted by a similar ruling.

A UK government spokesperson replied: “The UK and its international partners are united in condemning the Russian government’s reprehensible actions in Ukraine and calling on the Kremlin to end the war. We are committed to supporting Ukraine. Earlier this month Boris Johnson met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zhelensky in Kyiv and promised him “unwavering support”.

In a statement after the meeting, the British said they had pushed Russian forces out of kyiv’s gates in defiance of the Ukrainian conflict, achieving “the greatest military achievement of the 21st century”. “Putin’s ambitious goals are only thwarted by the unwavering leadership of President Jelensky and the bravery and invincible courage of the Ukrainian people,” he said.

Bombing Army Factory and Refinery

At the end of the day, the Kremlin issued another final warning to the Mariupol army to surrender – the first being on the 20th. And Ukrainian President Volodymyr Jelensky warned that the loss of the strategic city “would put an end to all negotiations for peace”.

A thriving industrial complex located in the Dornitsky district on the outskirts of the capital produces tanks and weapons. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, “ground weapons destroyed buildings due to long-range, high-precision winds” in the factory. Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said at least one person was killed and several others injured. “Our forces are doing their best to protect us, but the enemy is insidious and irreplaceable,” he said.

The day before, a nearby arms factory had been destroyed. The site produced Neptune missiles, which the Ukrainian military says were used to sink Russia’s main ship, the Moscow. Moscow says the ship was damaged by fire and a crew of around 500 was evacuated when explosives went off.
