Just out of curiosity, why is the UK the sole training point ? Is it because of being the most enthusiastic W European supporter and also having the most widely spoken common language ? Training facilities and training areas aren't any better/more widely available than in other states, are they ? I suppose though - answering my own question - the only other large contenders would be France and Germany - both of which have been significantly more reticent on all matters Ukrainian.
