“The UK is doubling the number of troops in Estonia and is sending additional equipment, including tanks and armored fighting vehicles.
Troops and equipment will begin the transfer to Estonia today, ”the ministry said in a statement, cited by RIA Novosti.
The Royal Wales Battle Group will leave Sennelager in Germany and bases in Britain and begin arriving in Estonia next week.
Apache helicopters will also go on exercises with allies in Eastern Europe.
In addition, four Typhoon aircraft will start patrolling the skies alongside NATO allies in Eastern Europe, while the British ship HMS Trent has already begun patrols in the eastern Mediterranean.
Earlier, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said that Russia was allegedly trying to fabricate a pretext for escalation in Ukraine in order to justify its subsequent “invasion” of its territory.
The Russian Foreign Ministry repeated specifically for London that Russia had not attacked anyone and was not going to attack anyone.
At the same time, they called on Britain to "prove that it is not going to attack anyone."
