Military instructors of the Sweden Armed Forces provide Ukrainian soldiers with forest fighting training in the U.K., Ukraine's General Staff posted photos on Facebook on March 29.

This military training allows soldiers with little to no combat experience the opportunity to master combat skills, become more efficient, and acquire the tactical knowledge they need to protect their homeland, the message reads.

This will help Ukrainian soldiers be more prepared to conduct defensive and offensive operations, the GS wrote.
