• UK's Secretary of State for Defence Grant Shapps said he plans to send British troops into Ukraine.UK troops may deploy into Ukraine for the first time to train soldiers as on-the-ground training efforts ramp up between the war torn country and its international allies.
• He told the Telegraph he aims to get military training "closer and actually into" the country.
• Ukraine relies on international allies for training and equipment as Russia's invasion drags on.
Grant Shapps, UK's Secretary of State for Defence, said in an interview with The Telegraph he was discussing a plan to mobilize British troops with his military chiefs.
"I was talking today about eventually getting the training brought closer and actually into Ukraine as well," Shapps told the outlet. "Particularly in the west of the country, I think the opportunity now is to bring more things 'in country'."
The plan, as stated, marks a dramatic shift from the UK and other allies' previous avoidance of implementing a formal military presence in the region to avoid direct conflict with Russia.
In addition to offering training on the ground in Ukraine, Shapps said British defense companies like BAE Systems are moving manufacturing into the country. It's something he hopes to see more British companies do, as well.

Seek shelter friends...
