In the United Kingdom, Norwegian instructors are training Ukrainian soldiers to fire small arms in low visibility conditions and at night in defensive and offensive combat as part of a unit.  

That's according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

"This training makes it possible to improve the acquired combat skills to increase personal safety and security of the unit in various scenarios of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, so that servicemen can skillfully use the necessary tactical knowledge to protect Ukraine," the General Staff notes.

Under the expert guidance of the Norwegian Armed Forces instructors, the Ukrainian Armed Forces recruits became more prepared for combat conditions.
