UK to send 350 more troops to Poland in ‘spirit of solidarity’ as Russia tensions rise
The Independent says Defence secretary Ben Wallace says the UK will send 350 further troops to Poland in the “spirit of solidarity” as tensions build between Russia and Ukraine.
In a press conference with Polish minister for national defence Mariusz Błaszczak, Mr Wallace confirmed that the UK would add to the 100 troops originally sent to Poland in November during Poland’s border crisis with Belarus.
“In that spirit of solidarity and helping share each other’s challenges of resiliences we will add to those 100 Royal Engineers by sending a further 350 British troops to Poland in a bilateral deployment to show that we can work together and send a strong signal that Britain and Poland stand side by side,” he said.
