Read Time:2 Minute, 22 Second

The British is preparing to offer NATO placement of troops, weapons, warships and the main jets in Europe, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced Saturday, to respond to the increasing “Russian hostility” against Ukraine.
The offer, which will be made for the NATO military head next week, can see London doubling around 1,150 British soldiers today in Eastern European countries and “defensive weapons” sent to Estonia, the office said.

“This package will send a clear message to the Kremlin – we will not tolerate their destabilized activities, and we will always stand with our NATO allies before Russian hostility,” Johnson said in a statement on Saturday night.

“I have ordered our armed forces to prepare to spread throughout Europe next week, ensuring we can support our NATO allies on land, at sea and in the air,” he added.

The British leader said that if Putin’s Russian President chose “bloodshed and destruction” in Ukraine, it would be “a tragedy for Europe”.

“Ukrainians must be free to choose their own future,” argue.

Johnson, who was under intense political pressure for weeks after a series of scandals, said Friday he would talk to Putin in the coming days to urge de-escalation in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, he will visit the area next week.

The relationship between Russia and the West was at their lowest point since the Cold War after Moscow mobilized tens of thousands of troops on the Ukrainian border.

The British Foreign Ministry is expected to announce the notion of the sanctions regime in Russia in parliament Monday, to target strategic and financial interests.

Meanwhile UK officials will be sent to Brussels, home to NATO headquarters, to complete the details of military offers after the Minister discusses different options also on Monday.

The Chief of England’s defense staff Tony Radakin, the head of the armed forces, will give Persimpan to the situation in Ukraine the following day.

The possibility of spreading aircraft, warships and military specialists and troops and weapons will strengthen the NATO defense and “support English support for Nordic and Baltic partners”, according to Johnson’s office.

England already has more than 900 Military personnel based in Estonia, and more than 100 currently in Ukraine as part of the training mission beginning in 2015.

Meanwhile the minor cavalry squadron was around 150 personnel deployed in Poland.

HMS Prince Wales Warship – Currently in what is called “high north” Arctic region of Europe, leads the strength of the NATO maritime high readiness – is on standby “to move within a few hours if tension rises further,” Downing Street said.

On the front of the diplomatic, British Foreign Secretary Truss and Defense Secretary Ben Wallace was preparing to visit Moscow to talk to their colleagues in the coming days, he added.

“They will be asked to improve relations with the Government of President Putin and encourage de-escalation,” Johnson’s office said.
