EU Trains Ukrainians on Fire Engines and Boosts Ammunition Production

The Royal Air Force (RAF) has provided training to nine Ukrainian military firefighters on how to operate specialist fire engines at RAF Wittering in Cambridgeshire. The training was conducted on 17 firefighting vehicles donated by the UK to help Ukraine respond to damage caused by Russian aerial attacks. The vehicles, including rapid intervention and foam vehicles, are more modern and capable than the Soviet-era vehicles currently used by Ukraine. The Ukrainian firefighters received a condensed and intense five-day training package and will use their new skills to increase their operational capability upon returning home.
