British SAS troops have been training Ukrainian soldiers in Kyiv in how to use British-supplied NLAW anti-tank missile launchers, it has been reported. The training marks the first time British forces have been instructing their Ukrainian counterparts since Russia's Vladimir Putin launched his invasion on February 24. Reports of the British training came after Russian TV warned that Western involvement in the war - such as supplying weapons to Ukraine and training its military - meant that World War Three had already begun. Skiff, meanwhile, told The Times that Ukraine's 112th battalion - to which his unit was attached at the time - had also been given training by British troops last week.
