Western participation, training, assistance

As one senior diplomat puts it: “If you look at all the options, our strategic interest is probably best served in a long war, a quagmire that drains him militarily and economically so he cannot do this again.”
He sent out his last tweet on April 27, basically reposting a tweet by a former CIA agent captioned “Facts.” The agent’s text reads: "Actually, it started long time ago. We learned this between 2014-2022. Not just now. It was a lab experiment on Russian TTPs [tactics, techniques and procedures]. On the EW [electronic warfare]. On everything. This is why Ukrainians (with our advice/assistance) are doing so well. Ask those in the IC [Intelligence community] or the UW [unconventional warfare] communities. We learned a shit ton.”

Since 2015, the UK has trained around 20,000 Ukrainian soldiers through Operation Orbital, which was expanded in 2020 to include maritime capacity-building through a multinational Maritime Training Initiative for the Ukrainian navy, led by the UK. The members of the armed forces of the two countries conduct joint sea, land and air training. In September 2020, British paratroopers took part in joint drills with their Ukrainian counterparts, flying directly from RAF Brize Norton and parachuting into the south of Ukraine.
London, in particular, is seen as a heavy-weight challenger ‘willing to go to the edge’ and having ‘fewer reservations about confronting Russia’ compared to some other NATO member states.
