Summary

The UK Royal Navy is training Ukrainian sailors to neutralize Russian naval mines as part of 'Operation Maritime Interflex'. The training includes using unmanned underwater vehicles and kamikaze drones to detect and neutralize mines. The training is taking place in the English Channel, but the ultimate goal is to clear mines in the Black Sea. The Black Sea is heavily mined and has seen a significant impact on maritime trade. The Royal Navy has transferred two decommissioned mine-hunting warships to Ukraine, but they cannot enter the Black Sea due to Turkish restrictions. The training is seen as a crucial step in preparing Ukrainian forces to deal with the mine threat in the Black Sea.
