British Royal Marines have been leading a five-week amphibous-warfare course for Ukrainian marines.
As of August, some 900 Ukrainian troops, ranging from veterans to new recruits, had done the course.
The marines will give Ukraine's military more options and complicate the Russian military's planning.

For six months, British Royal Marines have been training hundreds of Ukrainian marines in "the art" of conducting commando raids and complicated amphibious operations.
