London - British Prime Minister David Cameron said on Feb. 24 that the UK was going to send military personnel to Ukraine next month to help train the Ukrainian army.

“Over the course of the next month we’re going to be deploying British service personnel to provide advice and a range of training, to tactical intelligence to logistics, to medical care,” Cameron told a committee of lawmakers in parliament on Feb. 24.

According to Cameron, the UK will also be developing an infantry training program with Ukraine to improve the durability of its forces.

When asked, if Britain will consider supplying Ukraine with lethal defensive equipment, Cameron said that Britain was not at that stage. The prime minister said that the UK is supplying non-lethal equipment to Ukraine and said he would not rule out supplying lethal weapons in the future.
