FED:Australian troops find new base for Ukraine training

United Kingdom Australia Ukraine Richard Marles

Australian troops will be posted to Poland in coming weeks as part of efforts to train Ukrainian soldiers for their ongoing war against Russia.

Australian Defence Force personnel will join the Norwegian-led Operation Legio - based close to the Ukrainian border - to teach basic infantry tactics, leadership and military skills, Defence Minister Richard Marles said.

Since 2023, Australia has been providing similar support through the UK-based Operation Interflex, but the federal government says it now makes sense to deliver training closer to Ukraine.

"The serving men and women of the Australian Army will continue their crucial work to train the new recruits of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for as long as it takes," Mr Marles told a defence summit on Tuesday night.
