Australia will expand its commitment to train recruits from the Armed Forces of Ukraine as part of Operation Kudu in 2024. This was reported by the press service of the Australian Department of Defense.
Since January of this year, Australian soldiers have helped train more than 1,200 recruits as part of a multinational training mission led by the United Kingdom and based in the UK to support Ukraine's national defense after Russia's invasion.
The latest rotation of 70 Australian Defense Force (ADF) instructors returned to Darwin this week.
Over the next 12 months, the number of ADF personnel deployed on each rotation will increase to 90.
Australia's role will be expanded to include a junior leader training program focusing on areas such as basic combat skills, including urban and trench warfare, combat first aid, explosive ordnance awareness and marksmanship.
Since June 2022, more than 30,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been trained with the support of personnel from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Lithuania, the Netherlands and most recently Romania.
