Theresa May has reaffirmed that Britain is "unconditionally committed" to maintaining security cooperation with the European Union as the UK prepares for Brexit, The Guardian reports.

During a joint visit to a military base in Estonia with the French president, Emmanuel Macron, the prime minister said threats from Russian aggression to illegal migration and cybersecurity made security in the union increasingly vital.

"When a nation like Russia deliberately violates the rules-based international order that we have worked so hard to create, we must come together with our allies to defend that international system," May told British troops based in northern Estonia.
