The training is being delivered by the Royal Navy's Diving and Threat Exploitation Group alongside the US Navy 6th Fleet. And it will be supplemented with the gifting of six autonomous minehunting drones.
The programme is expected to be key in helping move ships carrying grain out of the country safely.
Lord Admiral Alan West, Former First Sea Lord, told Sky News that underwater drones will be a"game changer" for the Ukrainian Navy."That is very important because there is immense pressure, global pressure, to actually start shifting what one could call a grain mountain. The training is being delivered by the Royal Navy's Diving and Threat Exploitation Group alongside the US Navy 6th Fleet.Diving and Threat Exploitation Group, told Sky News:"At the moment, the important thing is for those commercial vessels to be able to get in and out."And therefore, for the Ukrainian Navy to be able to do their own searching of the seabed and understand exactly where the threats lie is vital to what they're doing.
"Their enthusiasm and their energy levels to be able to both learn and understand these capabilities is truly remarkable.
