Footage tweeted by Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence – and then shared by its UK equivalent – shows military personnel lining both sides of a road and saluting the departing Ukrainian soldiers.
The clip also shows some troops holding Ukrainian flags as the buses go by.
The UK MoD tweeted: “We salute our Ukrainian friends as they return home after completing training to defend their freedom, loved ones and independence.”
Ukrainians have been trained in the UK since last summer, and by the first anniversary of the Russian invasion around 10,000 troops left the country combat-ready.
A further 20,000 are expected to go through the five-week course in 2023.
