UK weighs more troop deployment to deter Russia
The UK foreign secretary says her country is considering deployment of extra troops to defend NATO member nations amid fears of a Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Liz Truss told Sky News on Sunday that the UK is offering to deploy extra troops into Estonia, providing more air support across the Black Sea and supplying defensive weapons to Ukraine.
She said the move is intended to make sure Ukraine and NATO countries in the region are "in the best possible position" if Russian President Vladimir Putin tries to stage an incursion into Ukraine.
Truss announced that she will visit Ukraine this week and Moscow next week as part of her diplomatic efforts to avert a Russian invasion of Ukraine.
