LOCAL MP Andrew Murrison met Ukrainian recruits being trained by British and Australian military at Knook Camp, part of the Salisbury Plain Training Area, near Warminster on Friday 10th March.
The MP was there in his capacity as minister for defence personnel. He was briefed by senior officers at the camp before chatting over a cup of range tea with trainees and trainers.
His visit came after a weekend which saw him training in Portsmouth as a Naval Reservist medical officer. He said, “I’m humbled by these guys. Their grit, resilience and determination in the defence of their homeland is truly remarkable.
“They are so grateful to the UK for our assistance in their struggle against oppression. We will continue to stand by them in the difficult months ahead.”
