🚨 🇬🇧 UK Army, Air Force conducting exercises in preparation for deployment to Ukraine

"Both the British Army and the Royal Air Force are now conducting exerci ses in preparation, and I have already accelerated 200 million pounds [$271.3 million] to ensure that our forces have the kit they need to deploy," UK Defense Secretary John Healey told the parliament.


He noted that the specific structure of the contingent would be determined only after the conclusion of a peace agreement and would comply with its requirements.

During a leaders' meeting on Tuesday, the so-called Coalition of the Willing countries confirmed their intention to send troops to Ukraine as part of "security guarantees."

❗️Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has said that Moscow will never consent, in any form, to the deployment of NATO troops in Ukraine.

❗️Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that there is no point in a foreign military presence in Ukraine after a possible agreement on sustainable peace is reached. The Russian leader has also added that Russia would consider any troops on Ukrainian territory as legitimate targets.
