Kremlin losing ground’, Defence Secretary reveals

30k British-trained troops on front line

BRITAIN trained its 30,000th Ukrainian freedom fighter this week, Grant Shapps has revealed. Writing exclusively for the Daily Express, the Defence Secretary details the tough, survival training recruits have received. And he pledges that even after they join the front line, "we will not forget them".

Mykola used to be a florist. He was harvesting flowers for International Women's Day when the Russians came.

He said: "I was very close to the front line. We had rocket attacks, we had it all, this anxiety. There is no future and there was no present in what I was doing either."

So Mykola made up his mind then and there - uprooting his life, leaving behind his flowers, kissing his girlfriend goodbye and flying to the East of England.

There he joined IT experts, teachers, welders, window cleaners, sportsmen and shop assistants, housewives and hoteliers.
