Australia will expand the Ukrainian military training program in 2024

Australia's role will be expanded to include a junior commander training program focusing on areas such as the basics of combat skills, including urban and trench warfare, combat first aid, explosive ordnance awareness and marksmanship, the Australian Department of Defense said in a statement.

Since January this year, Australian soldiers have helped train more than 1,200 recruits as part of a UK-led and UK-based multinational training mission to support Ukraine's national defense following the Russian invasion.
