(10 Feb 2022) British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his Polish counterpart Mateusz mls Morawiecki on Thursday met British soldiers deployed near Warsaw as part of a NATO mission to augment the alliance's eastern flank.
Johnson was in Poland for talks with Morawiecki and President Andrzej Duda on Russia's military buildup near Ukraine.
As well as sending soldiers to Poland, the UK has also sent hundreds of troops to Estonia and will deploy Royal Air Force jets to southern Europe and two Royal Navy vessels to the eastern Mediterranean.
Russia has said it has no plans to invade Ukraine but wants suv the West to keep Ukraine and other former Soviet countries out of NATO.
It also wants NATO to refrain from deploying weapons there and roll back alliance forces from Eastern Europe.
The US and NATO flatly reject these demands.
