What is known about London's plans to send instructors to Ukraine
The Times reports that there is talk of sending a small group of British troops to western Ukraine.
Their duties will include conducting intensive basic training for new recruits before they are sent to the front.
This is expected to reduce costs associated with training Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel in the UK.
