Heappey said that although there have been"British troops involved in a training mission in Ukraine for many years," there will be no UK forces sent to the country"if there is any conflict with Russia." His comments follow a visit by UK Defense Secretary Ben Wallace to Moscow this week during which the United Kingdom "urged dialogue as a way through to address any concerns that Russia" has, according to Wallace.
NATO's borders"do need reinforcing at a time of crisis like this," he said, adding this is why the UK and United States have ramped up their commitments to send troops to NATO's eastern border.Ukraine is not a NATO member, and therefore doesn't have the same security guarantees as NATO members.
