Special forces troops (not pictured) are said to be on the ground training Ukrainian soldiers (Picture: AP/Reuters)Troops from Britain’s special forces are reportedly on the ground in Ukraine and training soldiers. SAS personnel have worked with local fighters around Kyiv for the first time since the conflict began, The Times claimed. The unverified report comes a day after Moscow’s main propaganda station said World War Three has already started and Russia is at war with Nato. Military trainers were initially pulled out of Ukraine when the February invasion began over fears direct clashes with Russian forces could escalate the conflict. Now officers from separate battalions have claimed SAS soldiers were in Ukraine training recruits on how to operate the weapons.
