British army chief: ‘We must be ready to fight’

Britain must have an army capable of fighting in Europe and defeating Russia, the new British army chief said, according to Reuters, quoted by the British inews.com.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a vocal supporter of Ukraine after the Russian invasion in February, ruled out sending British troops to help Kyiv, but warned this weekend that London would “show support for the period”. .

Patrick Saunders, who took command of the British Army this month, told British troops: “I am the first Chief of Staff since 1941 to take command of an army in the shadow of a land war in Europe with a mainland force “.

“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine underscores our main goal – to protect the United Kingdom by being ready to fight and win wars on land.”
