Hundreds of British special force troops are ready to deploy to the Ukranian border at a moment’s notice, amid rising tensions and fears of a possible Russian invasion in the region, according to reports.
The UK’s Special Air Service and Parachute Regiment are prepared to enter the region with medics, engineers, signalers, and hundred of paratroopers, The Mirror reported.
“The high readiness element of the brigade was told it may need to deploy at very short notice, a source told The Mirror.
“Between 400 and 600 troops are ready. Their equipment is packed and they are ready to fly to Ukraine and either land or parachute in. They have trained for both eventualities.”
The military move comes after the European Union accused Belarus, which borders both the Ukraine and Poland, of manufacturing a humanitarian crisis by urging migrants to illegally cross into the EU via Poland.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, an ally of Russia’s Vladimir Putin, has denied any wrongdoing.
Hundreds of British paratroopers supported by artillery units could drop into the region within 36 hours of authorization, senior defense sources told the paper.
Britain’s highest ranking military officer, General Sir Nick Carter, told Times Radio in an interview expected to air Sunday, that Russia poses a significant and real risk to the West.

This is what the globalists want. War, death, military spending.
This can’t be good for Boris’s Net-Zero ,LOL
I wish them good luck.
And that’s it.

I fail to see what I, an average American citizen, gain from the corrupt deep state involving itself in Ukraine.
In fact, they have attacked my President over it, and may ignite a war with a nuclear power.
Send in Harry... He will know what to do... wait.. better send in Megan- she can entertain the troops...
I don’t think either Russia or the Ukraine are members of Nato, but it’s a given that at some point, the USA will be expected to jump into this confrontation to some degree.
Russia’s only problem with that ‘show of force’ will be to stop laughing long enough to engage and defeat them.
My thoughts exactly.
BTW re your tagline... I also shop at walmart, but eat at Burger King :-)
Yep. They need a war to distract from the Vax Injuries, and from Net Zero.
The 1960s antiwar people said "The military industrial complex billionaires are terrified world peace may break out."
“Hundreds”????
That can only provide a “trip wire” which if it became engaged in conflict would have to be backed up by a very large European military commitment, else why put those forces in there. But, so far I see no wider European commitment to military engagement on Ukraine’s border.
The UK shouldn’t risk their best on a marginal kleptocracy.
Women and children better stay in their house. Blue Helmets are known for raping and taking advantage of the people they’re supposed to be protecting.
Leave NATO out of this. Probably not a great idea to downsize your military hey UK?
If we become involved, and the navy needs to be called in, we can send Admiral Levine to command. /snicker
Pardon me. I read it as UN troops. Major goof.
Shouldn’t the UK military be positioned along the Channel Coast?
