© NGUBritish commanders meet with senior officials from Ukraine’s National Guard in Kyiv
September 2021
Ukraine's National Guard says that in meeting last year the
UK military agreed to start training its forces, which include a thousand-strong neo-Nazi unit. The UK Ministry of Defence disputes the claim.Details and photos of the meeting in the capital, Kyiv, were posted in Ukrainian on the website of Ukraine's National Guard (NGU) last year.
Declassified understands the
UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) believed the September 2021 meeting to be private and should not have been publicised. There is no mention of the meeting in any UK records that are publicly available.
Three British commanders of
Operation Orbital - the UK military's training mission in Ukraine - are pictured, alongside three NGU officers. They sit around a table taking notes. The MoD refused to give Declassified the names of the UK personnel who attended the meeting, citing operational and personnel security issues. However, the NGU report names Lt Col Andy Cox, deputy commander of
Orbital, while two other British officers are pictured, one with his name tag prominently displayed.
Orbital, which was launched in 2015, has so far only trained Ukraine's regular armed forces. Expanding it to include the National Guard would be controversial due to
sensitivities around the far-right sympathies of some of its units.
Comment: Is it possible that some of these missing manuscripts - English or otherwise - were intentionally destroyed, and still more weren't lost, they simply never existed in the first place?
