The Prime Minister of Britain, David Cameron announced before MPs' committee that British military personnel are to be deployed to Ukraine for the first time in the next few weeks to provide advice and training to government troops, the Guardian reports.
On the occasion the sources of the Ministry of Defence of Britain specified that as part of the training mission up to 75 personnel would begin to deploy to Ukraine from next month. The deployment will cover four separate areas: medical, intelligence, logistics and infantry training.
David Cameron urged for tougher sanctions against Moscow if Russian-backed militias in eastern Ukraine failed be loyal to the provisions of a ceasefire agreement reached this month.
According to Cameron there would be "deeply damaging" consequences for all of Europe if the EU failed to stop Putin on Ukraine. The Prime Minister of Britain did not exclude the possibility that the Russian president could turn against the Baltic states or Moldova if “he was not reined in now”.
