Ukrainian recruits learn fighting in the trenches on latest phase of Op Interflex
For three long years members of the Ukrainian armed forces have been holding back the Russian invader as they defend their homeland.
But due to Vladimir Putin's Special Military Operation - and a century after the First World War - trench warfare has returned to European soil.
And a woodland in eastern England is where many of Ukraine's troops have been taught how to fight.
This phase of the training sees platoon commanders and section commanders learn how to lead their men in combat with maximum lethality.
And it also sees the new recruits learn how move and work together - again with maximum lethality.
Operation Interflex is the largest military training programme of its kind on British soil since the Second World War.
With the aim of turning civilians into soldiers in just five weeks, the syllabus includes weapons handling, battlefield first aid and military tactics as well as lessons on the Law of Armed Conflict.
Other countries, including Canada, Australia and the Baltic States, also provide instructors.
Three years on the war in Ukraine has a reached a pivotal point. Relations between the US and Ukraine are strained, with America saying it won't put boots on the ground in Ukraine to help secure any peace.
Britain says it will provide soldiers alongside other European countries.
These won't be peacekeepers but a "reassurance force" of up to 30,000 troops to oversee major cities, ports and national infrastructure, such as Ukraine's power stations.
Some 51,000 Ukrainians have now gone through Op Interflex.
But while diplomats discuss the war in capitals thousands of miles away, the fighting in Ukraine continues unabated.
Within weeks the young men being trained in the UK will be back on the battlefield facing Russian artillery, drones and glide bombs.
And they'll be using the skills they've learned here in the UK to try to stay alive and defend their country.
