May Thanks Military for Keeping the UK Safe from Russia
UK Prime Minister Theresa May hailed the British Armed Forces in her Christmas address, praising their work on a variety of tasks, including, among other things, cleaning up the mess after the Salisbury incident and keeping UK "waters and skies" free from "Russian intrusion", Sputnik News reports.
"Time and again you have stood up to aggression and those who flout the rules-based international order. You should be incredibly proud of all that you do - just as the whole country is proud of you", Theresa May said in the address.
She also praised the armed forces for "striking at terrorism as part of the global coalition against Daesh" in Syria.
"Along with our US and French allies", UK forces are "sending a message to the Assad regime that we will not stand by while chemical weapons are used, as they were in April on families, including young children", she said.
