The Interflex program, which includes both combat and leadership training, will continue until at least the end of 2026.

It is noted that more than 50,000 Ukrainian recruits have been trained in the UK under the Interflex program.

According to the Defense Ministry, the coalition led by Britain and France has also developed plans to deploy a multinational force in Ukraine to deter possible attacks after the agreement is signed.
