Grant Shapps to send UK troops to Ukraine

Behind a paywall from telegraph “from The Telegraph's Edward Malnick: British troops will be deployed in Ukraine for the first time under plans being discussed with military chiefs, the new Defence Secretary has disclosed. In an interview with The Telegraph, Grant Shapps said that he had held talks with Army leaders about shifting an official British-led training programme "into Ukraine" rather than relying on UK and other Nato members' bases. He also called on more British defence firms to set up factories in Ukraine. Following a trip to Kyiv last week, Mr Shapps also revealed that he had talked to Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, about how Britain's Navy could play a role in defending commercial vessels from Russian attacks in the Black Sea. Both moves would mark a significant escalation in the UK's involvement in defending Ukraine against Vladimir Putin's onslaught. Read more: https:// www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/“

I wonder how are they going to protect the troops from russian missile attacks. Are they going to also deploy British AA? Or will they rely on the Ukrainian?

I was very confused on how exactly a giant schnapps was going to accomplish this. Several minutes later, after my brain finished parsing that headline correctly, I’ve determined that that’s enough internet for me today.

That's disinformation. Grant Shapps isn't going to send UK troops to Ukraine.
