Downing Street said it is almost doubling UK commitment to military support for Ukraine with additional £1bn
Britain will commit an extra 1,000 troops and one of its two new aircraft carriers to the defence of Nato’s eastern flank, the defence secretary has announced, as Downing Street unveiled £1bn in extra military support for Ukraine.
The forces will be earmarked for the defence of Estonia, where Britain already has about 1,700 personnel deployed, but they will be based in the UK, ready to fly out to defend the Baltic country if deemed necessary.
