(ANSA) – ROME, APRIL 29 – About 8,000 British Army soldiers will take part in scheduled exercises across Eastern Europe in response to the Russian aggression of Ukraine, in one of the largest deployments of forces since the Cold War. The Guardian writes, citing the British Ministry of Defense.
Dozens of tanks will be deployed between now and the summer in Eastern European countries, from Finland to North Macedonia, according to plans developed after the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
Tens of thousands of soldiers from NATO and the Joint Expeditionary Force alliance, which includes Finland and Sweden, will join the exercises.
The London Defense Ministry said the action had been planned for some time but was stepped up in response to the Russian invasion in late February.
The UK commitment is expected to peak around 8,000 units which will be relocated to mainland Europe between now and June. (HANDLE).
