Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Jack Lopresti (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 8 June 2015 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
NATO Very High Readiness Joint Task Force
- Question
-
Given reports in recent days of attacks against Ukrainian forces by Russian forces and separatists backed by Russia, what is NATO doing to deter such aggression, and could a rapid task force play an important role in that?
- Answer
-
We are continuing to press for sanctions to be upheld against Russia. We are helping Ukrainian armed forces with trainers at six different sites in western Ukraine, training and improving the capacity of the Ukrainian armed forces. We have troops exercising in eastern Europe—in Romania and the Baltic—and our Typhoons are flying every day this summer to help to protect Baltic airspace.
