Operation Interflex is the operational code name for the British-led multinational military operation to train and support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is a successor to Operation Orbital (2015–2022) and began in July 2022.[2] Unlike its predecessor, Operation Interflex takes place within the United Kingdom and is supported by contingents from international partners.
