Ukrainian military sailors master two minesweepers of the Sandown type in Scotland, which the British Navy is to hand over to Ukraine.

The BBC writes about it.

The Ukrainian military practices exercises with weapons, mechanisms and ship control. The sailors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are assisted in this by more than a thousand British servicemen.

Ukraine and Britain agreed on these ships last year. Minesweepers were planned to arrive in Ukraine in August this year, but these are still pre-war agreements. Currently, all movements of these vessels are not disclosed.
