British Army ready to deploy to Ukraine if ordered

The British Army has said it is ready to deploy to Ukraine if requested by the government, the BBC writes.

Earlier this week, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that he was ready and willing to send British troops to Ukraine to help guarantee its security, should there be a ceasefire.

To remind, this week, 2,500 UK troops from the Army’s high readiness force, the First Division, have been taking part in a large NATO exercise in Romania – on a training area just 25km from the border with Ukraine.
