Britain's Royal Navy has begun training Ukrainian sailors to use subaquatic minehunter drones that will allow them to remove threats from Ukraine's waters.

Over 12 Ukrainian personnel receive the three-week training delivered by the Royal Navy's Diving and Threat Exploitation Group and the US Navy 6th Fleet at a facility in southern England.

Ukraine will receive a total of six autonomous mine-hunting drones from the UK and the US. The drones use sonar technology to detect explosive threats underwater.
