The UK Will Help Restore Aviation and Seafaring Strength of Ukraine

Training of Ukrainian sailors using VR, practice for air traffic controllers, internships on British ships and other transport opportunities

On June 21, at Ukraine Recovery, UK transport minister Mark Harper announced an additional and extraordinary package of assistance for Ukrainian specialists. The UK will train Ukrainian naval cadets in virtual reality. In addition, Ukrainians will be invited for a 3-year internship on large vessels for various purposes.

"Our support for Ukraine and its people is unwavering, and we're not going to let Russia's abhorrent actions sink Ukraine's great reputation in areas like seafaring. By sharing the UK's world-renowned expertise in aviation and seafaring, we are steadfast in our commitment to ensuring Ukraine's transport system recovers from Putin's illegal invasion," Mark Harper.

Also, the Ministry of transport has committed itself to training Ukrainian air traffic controllers in the UK.
