British Army Commander Says UK Troops Should Prepare For War In Europe Again

 

General Sir Patrick Sanders, the UK Chief of the General Staff, has called on British troops to prepare to “fight in Europe once again” in order to defeat the forces of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The European Pravda reports this with reference to Sky News.

So, it is reported that General Patrick Sanders, who replaced Mark Carleton-Smith as the UK Chief of the General Staff on Monday, warned soldiers about the challenges they face amid the war in Ukraine.

“There is now a burning imperative to forge an Army capable of fighting alongside our allies and defeating Russia in battle… We are the generation that must prepare the Army to fight in Europe once again,” the General said.

The Chief of the General Staff said he was "the first Chief of the General Staff since 1941 to take command of the Army in the shadow of a land war in Europe involving a continental power."

“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine underlines our core purpose – to protect the UK by being ready to fight and win wars on land,” the General stressed.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Boris Johnson proposed a four-point support plan for Ukraine.

Meanwhile, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg believes that the war in Ukraine can last for years. Despite this, partners must continue to support Kyiv so that the Kremlin does not go unpunished.
