According to the UK Defence Secretary, the country will not watch Russia destroy the whole of Ukraine without a very stiff opposition. He affirmed that the UK will continue to work in tandem with the United States and other NATO members to prevent Russia from going overboard.
Wallace noted that the UK and all its allies in the European Union would do everything possible to avoid further escallation of the war, and warned that Russia should be prepared to face equal or greater response from the Britain if it dares to unleash Nuclear weapon on Ukraine.
In his word: “Britain is a nuclear power, we have a deterrent. That deterrent has kept our security for decades and, as we speak, under the sea somewhere is Britain’s nuclear deterrent. And it’s about deterrence,” he said.
