Ukrainian armed forces have been using British-provided MRAP Wolfhound 6x6 armoured vehicles to tow away captured Russian military vehicles.

The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine tweeted a video that showed the Wolfhound towing a Russian BTR-82A armoured personnel carrier. 

The accompanying tweet said: "Not a day goes by without a trophy. This is how friends – at the expense of the enemy – are strengthening the 'steel fist' of #UAarmy."

• Royal Navy frigate in North Sea to protect underwater cables
• Wallace: Lack of apparent military unity in the West gave Putin an opportunity

The video showed the inside of the Wolfhound with the words "Always the first" spray painted on it in Ukrainian, which is the motto of the airborne assault troops.

The captured Russian vehicle was towed to the soundtrack of "I'm a Man" by Black Strobe. 

The UK has committed £2.3bn in military aid to Ukraine this year.

The UK is also hosting a training programme, supported by a number of allies, with the aim of training 10,000 new and existing Ukrainian personnel.
