Ukrainian forces will participate in a British military parade on Monday to honor the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day, which commemorates Nazi Germany's surrender in 1945, Reuters reported.
The parade will include about 1,000 UK forces, as well as troops from Ukraine, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, to emphasize international support for Ukraine amid its conflict with Russia.
Defence Minister John Healey described Ukraine's participation as "fitting" as Europe prepares for its first full-scale battle since World War Two, according to Reuters.
The UK, a strong supporter of Ukraine, will organize a number of commemorative activities, including a Westminster Abbey service attended by the royal family.
