UK won't send troops to Ukraine 'no matter how situation develops', says Liz Truss

UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said on Tuesday that it is highly unlikely that United Kingdom will send its military contingent to Ukraine matter how situation develops. "As defense secretary has alrey said, it is unlikely that re will be circumstance," Truss said as NATO stationed troops in east and United States ordered its own troops to remain vigilant as it prepares for troop deployment in Baltic nations and Eastern Europe.

When asked wher UK will send combat units to defend Ukraine, Truss stated that ‘it is extremely unlikely,’ RIA vosti reported. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated earlier that British Royal Forces will be sent to protect NATO allies in eastern Europe in case Moscow inved Kyiv. UK and alliance, he stressed, will respond in unison with "severe" ecomic sanctions, as he also ditionally threatened Russian leer, saying: “If Russia pursues this path [of attacking Ukraine] many Russian mors’ sons will t be coming home." 

" British Army les NATO battle group in Estonia and, if Russia inves Ukraine, we would look to contribute to any new NATO deployments to protect our allies in Europe," UK's Prime Minister Boris Johnson reportedly said on Tuesday. 

'We’re standing shoulder to shoulder' with Kyiv: Raab 

In a separate press dress, United Kingdom's deputy prime minister Dominic Raab h similarly said that Britain will support Ukraine in defending its territory with arms and or military equipment but prospect of British Royal Army deployment in Kyiv is t on table. “To international community, to NATO allies in West, we’re standing shoulder to shoulder and re will be very serious consequences if Russia takes this move to try and inve and also install a puppet regime,” Raab said. He reiterated that it is “unlikely” that UK will dispatch its own army to fight against Russian invasion of Ukraine but “what we can say is we’re alrey willing and engaging in training programmes to support Ukrainians defending mselves, that’s absolutely right.”

UK’s Foreign Office this week anunced that it has clear intelligence that Russia wants to install “a pro-Russian leer in Kyiv as it considers wher to inve and occupy Ukraine.” Intel suggests that potential candidate to replace current Ukrainian leer is former Ukrainian MP Yevhen Murayev. US, meanwhile, h imposed sanctions on at least four current and several former Ukrainian officials for colluding with Russia's intelligence service to destabilize Ukraine. Moreover, Russia refuted se claims and lambasted UK for a “disinformation” campaign. Kremlin asked West to put end to “provocative activities” in regions surrounding Russia. Moscow h earlier called reports of Ukrainian invasion “an artificial hysteria” built by United States.  

“ most recent disinformation circulated by UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office is yet ar indication that it is NATO Members led by Anglo-Saxon nations who are building up and escalating tensions around Ukraine,” a statement by Russian Foreign Ministry said.
