Ukrainian soldiers — some of the most experienced in Europe — will, in turn, share their knowledge with British, French and European trainers.
At sea, Turkish forces in Istanbul will rehearse maritime mine clearance to help restore commercial shipping to Ukrainian ports.
Belgium, Estonia, Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden and Turkey will also participate in the drills, but notably, the US will not be involved.
Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said the exercise showed the UK and allies were “stepping up” to prepare for the day peace comes to Ukraine.
He added: “This isn’t a hypothetical plan; it’s a real force, ready to help Ukraine once the fighting stops.
