Russia-Ukraine war latest: No plans to deploy British troops to Ukraine, Sunak says

The Telegraph  

Rishi Sunak said on Sunday there were no immediate plans to deploy military instructors to Ukraine, rowing back on comments by his defence minister who had suggested troops could carry out training in the country. One idea is to move “more training and production” of military equipment into Ukraine, he said, while calling on more British defence firms to set up factories in Ukraine. On Sunday, Mr Sunak said: “What the defence secretary was saying was that it might well be possible one day in the future for us to do some of that training in Ukraine.” “But that’s something for the long term, not the here and now. There are no British soldiers that will be sent to fight in the current conflict.” His comments follow inflammatory rhetoric from former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Sunday, who said British troops would be legitimate targets for Russian troops if they were stationed in Ukraine.
