King Charles watches Ukrainian troops training in Wiltshire
King Charles III has said he is "full of admiration" for Ukrainian soldiers who are being trained by the British Army in Wiltshire, BBC reports.
Around 20,000 Ukrainians are to be put through an intensive five-week course to help them prepare for combat. His Majesty watched as the men - mostly civilians - stormed a mock trench. "We're trying to get them to learn how to use the ground to their advantage," said Capt Freddie Bradshaw from 1 Irish Guards. "We've got urban and trench complexes which they can use. They need to learn how to fight in a forest - a lot of Ukraine is forest. "There's a huge amount of experience from the training teams here. "We are trying to make them as lethal as possible in a short space of time - five weeks is a very condensed training package," he said. One Ukrainian soldier told the BBC: "It's an amazing feeling to be in the presence of His Majesty. "It's been the event that most light will shine upon my life. Another one said: "He asked how training was going, and our health, and took an interest in the wellbeing of our families and wives.
