British troops are training an elite Ukrainian commando brigade to cripple Russian forces and recapture Crimea before Christmas, sources claim.
More than 2,000 soldiers have arrived at a remote location on Dartmoor to take part in specialist exercises.
Sources say they will form the tip of the spear in an invasion, while two other forces mount concurrent attacks.
On Saturday night, Ukrainian intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov confirmed forces would enter Crimea “soon”.
The operation will involve strikes from air, land and sea with Ukrainian commandos using technology to undermine and paralyse Russian troops.
Elsewhere, armoured units will punch through defences with operations being supported by a new stock of long-range missiles being supplied from the UK, US and Germany.
The training is being carried out at Battle Camp in Okehampton, Devon, which has been closed to all other military units and members of the public.
Overseen by Royal Marines from 42 Commando, it includes classic long-approach marches followed by company group commando attacks using live ammunition at night.
On Saturday night, one senior UK military source said emphasis was being placed on using agile Nato tactics to help Ukrainian troops “shape the battle space” before striking at the heart of the enemy.
“The operation to retake it will be one deploying multiple assaults on Russian forces,” said the source.
“We can train them in our tactics and show how to use equipment, but success will come from the Ukrainians’ own ability to quickly adapt and overcome challenges.”
Moscow expert Keir Giles, author of Russia’s War on Everybody, said the retaking of Crimea is part of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s stated aim that all occupiers be removed from Ukrainian soil.
Mr Giles, of the Chatham House think-tank, said: “This is unlikely to be achieved through a blitzkrieg strike unless Russian forces have completely collapsed. But if attacks on the Kerch bridge continue, and they interdict the railway line and this coincides with the offensive that threatens other routes, eventually, that must have an impact on just how viable Russia’s hold on Crimea is.”
The news comes as attacks on Ukraine continued on Saturday. At least nine people, including two children, were injured when missiles hit an apartment block in the eastern city of Dnipro.
A building belonging to Ukraine’s security services (SBU) was also hit.
Meanwhile, Mr Giles dismissed claims by Vladimir Putin that he was “carefully studying” a peace plan proposed by African leaders.
It was presented at a Russia-Africa Summit held in St Petersburg. Putin has used anti-colonial fervour to whip up support from African nations, which represent the largest UN voting bloc.
But there were indications his popularity was waning as the reality of Russia’s Black Sea grain blockade hits home.
Of Africa’s 54 countries, only 17 heads of state were at the two-day summit, compared to 43 at the first summit in 2019.
Putin has pledged Russia would replace grain exports with its own, but the gesture was rejected by most African states and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said it was merely “a handful of donations”.
Mr Giles said there was no hope of the African peace plan gaining traction.
It calls for a Russian withdrawal, the removal of tactical nuclear weapons from Belarus, the suspension of the International Criminal Court arrest warrant against Putin and the ending of sanctions.
Mr Giles said: “That plan is unworkable because African nations recognise the root cause of the conflict is Russia’s invasion, and the baseline is Russia withdrawing – not something Putin is willing to do.”
Wow….the quality of “Chatham House think-tank” is overwhelming. Must resist to bow to Mr Giles in awe of his analysis…..
“British troops are training an elite Ukrainian commando brigade to cripple Russian forces and recapture Crimea before Christmas…”
Yeah… r…rr…rr….RIGHT!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I’ll say one thing for *TTT: Its a never-ending source of belly-laughs!😂
(TTT: THICKBrit Tabloid Trash)
2000 men willing to meet their maker. How nice……
I look forward to Ukraine occupying Russia up to Vladivostok. Then they can help Biden, and take out China as well. All with the help of the mighty, shrinking, British Army! Glad you printed this, as I can’t afford a subscription to the Daily Express……..assuming there is a charge?
SAS does not help . only peace + neutrality !
YOU WILL NEVER GET KRIMEA !
i just dashed out to bring in the washing its damp but big black clouds over head
so i thought play safe and bring it in
The lady next dor was doing the same
she told me
at the guilford festival i met a couple of the spice girls
one said to me she was offered big money to go round with the ” hope not hate ” bus
she was told it was anti racist
but she she asked, “can we include palestine in the countries under racist occupation?”
they dropped her like a stone
she also said the anti racists were the biggest haters and racists she ever met
and was glad she came away from them
wishful planning
A whole 2,000 troops trained in the UK to oust the Russians. That will have about as much effect as sticking a pin in an elephants ass. The Russkies must be shaking with fear.
I love these pro-Russian/Commie statements TTS always makes beneath the headlines of these news stories..
did you know there is actually a newspaper for truthseekers ?
see it here
i get it regular and its great

The present trainees are not the first trainees. And we have not heard of any noteworthy performances of the earlier trainees. Indeed, some of them did not even return to you Ukraine. I wonder how many. We heard about this very early in the piece.
This Marco Gianngsneli is not even attempting to tell us how the current trainees are going to get anywhere near Crimea without air cover. But he hastens to tell us that these newly trained wonder soldiers will kick the Russians out of Crimea. This is just too silly even to raise a laugh.
Oh, well. This piece is just the usual fodder for Daily Express readers’ ready consumption of idiocies.
It’s all bullsh*t. So sick and tired of MSM spouting off about Putin’s “INVASION.” What a crock. If Zelensky wasn’t murdering the people in the Donbass, Putin would not have needed to come to their rescue. Not to mention the inclusion of Ukraine into NATO, the P4 labs, and the endless money laundering of the USA’s Treasury money by these incorrigible Khazarian thieves.
Putin is saving the world right now, but if you listen to Jewish MSM, he’s the most wicked tyrant who ever lived. WRONG, LIARS !!
Let NATO bring as many morons who wanna die into the picture. It’s too bad that you’re all so obedient to the call and will sacrifice your very lives for thieving politicians. In that case, you deserve to die FROM STUPIDITY.
They will be undoubtedly be accompaniued by British ‘advisors’. As soon as they are directly involved in combat (which they will be), then the UK will be deemed to have directly attacked Russia.
The Ukranians are brave and long suffering people. Too good to be wasted like this.
2,000 crack commandos? Nice try, but it’s over.

They are being destroyed, just as the Jews intend. Jews are Khazars, and they got their asses handed to them in 965 by KIEVAN RUSSIANS, and have been scheming to destroy both the Ukrainians, both Kievans, and Russians.
How sad that anyone is so brain dead that they help Jews destroy actual human beings.
Like helping leaches suck human blood.
Jews will be no longer a part of history very soon. No one can help or hinder what is coming on!
Did you think that Israel, the son’s of Jacob were actually Jews?

Any ELP fans that may read this, please don’t be offended, but “welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we’re so glad you could attend, come inside, cone inside”. And RUSH, “all the world’s a theater stage and we are merely players, performers and portrayers”. This Satanic Seven-Ringed circus of sideshow freaks is just pathetic. My sympathy to the ones told “back to the front” by them or their families being held hostage. Jesus LIVES!!!!!
Rarotflmfao yeah f..king right. When are these losing fripperts finally going to hang their jew owned leaders in Maidan square. That’s the day I look forward to and can’t wait to see it.
Seeing how well the Ukes are fighting against the Russkies, I give the commandos a short life on the battlefield, the Russians seem to have a good handle on knowing what is going on.
Commandos storming the Crimean beaches = instant death.
Please mr Putin
just stick to any retaliatory bombing to the jewish areas and oh yes dont forget the poofs of Brighton
Thanks
For the subliminal message, the article keeps repeating the word “Ukraine” as if they were the ones with the plans

I hate to tell you guys, but God is certainly not with any man. The God of this world intends that all die!
Most people have no idea that the whole world has been condemned from it’s recreation by it’s maker, not creator, but maker, Yahwey, making it be purposely to be with no hope of life in the world.
Knowing that when he made man, he knew there was no man who was perfectly good, no, not one. He purposely made all men hard wired to commit sin through their flesh bodies, and to die, which is as he intended it to be.
Then into this evil world made by Yahway were trapped and imprisoned 1/3rd, 6,666,666, of the Holy Angels of the Great True God, The Father, creator of all things. Trapped by Yahwey along and his angels in this world fit only for death!
They, the trapped Angels of The True God have nearly all been changed from death, into real life by the Lord Jesus Christ.
Instead of death as was intended, they are changed and enter into eternal life. Because He was sinless to the death, who is perfect, took our sins upon HIMSELF, and forgave our sins and attributed sinless to us and made us clean. GOD THE FATHER AND THE SON died for three days and nights for our freedom snd glory!
The only people who never die once, are the ones who are waiting for their redemption when He comes to meet them and snatch them in the air in the blink of an eye!.
Through ll this time there have been one in a city two in a family! They are just a few still left of that number, the 6,666,666 but they will say,” Oh death, where is your
The Knowledge of the Father and the Son is clear cut. The Father was alone, then created the Son out of Himself and one yet now He can be in two places at once they are one God !” God is a Spirit, The Lord Jesus the power of Spirit became Flesh for our sakes to save us. Ther is one God who has shown 3 ways, as Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit he always has been!
