London, Jan 30: The United Kingdom is considering boosting its military support to NATO allies and could double its forces deployed in Estonia, the office of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson informs.
The British Government said that its offer of extra military deployment to NATO comes “in the face of rising Russian aggression” and could reinforce NATO’s defences and “underpin the UK’s support for Nordic and Baltic partners.”
Downing Street said that Johnson had asked the Chief of Defence Staff, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, to brief ministers on the situation in Ukraine on Tuesday. Meanwhile UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace will travel to Hungary, Slovenia, and Croatia for talks this upcoming week. (UNI)
