    It says that they are sent to Britain to be trained. Unless they’re being flown in to some military complex directly, why wouldn’t they just run away once they’ve cleared immigration in the UK? Would British police arrest them even if they haven’t broken any laws in the UK? Do Ukrainian army personnel have authorization to capture them and arrest them even on British soil?

      I don’t have any information but I’m willing to bet those are volunteers, not conscripts. If they are conscripts, they probably volunteered to be part of those units.

      Would not be surprised if they landed in RAF Brize Norton then get bussed off straight away rather than a commercial Airport. So. Not many chances to do a runner.
