[London19thReuters]-Britain’s Chief of Staff of the Army, Patrick Sanders, said Britain must have the fighting ability to defeat Russia in Europe. Local media reported as an instruction to the troops.
Prime Minister Johnson has professed support for Ukraine since the invasion by Russia in February, but denied the possibility of dispatching British troops. But on the 18th, he said he would need to show “long-term” support.
The Chief of the General Staff, who took office this month, reportedly said he had been the Chief of the General Staff since 1941, given the possibility of a ground war in Europe. He added that he said, “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has clearly set out its main goal of defending Britain in preparation for a victory in the ground battle.”
