The first ten Ukrainian pilots have completed basic training in Britain. They will have to undergo advanced training courses conducted by the French Air Force.

Earlier, The New York Times, citing Danish officials, wrote that the training of Ukrainian army pilots to operate F-16 fighters in Denmark was slowed down for several months due to their lack of knowledge of English. The first Ukrainian pilots graduated from flight school, having undergone intensive training under the guidance of Royal Air Force instructors, the British government said in a release.
