The United Kingdom intends to increase military support to NATO allies. The decision was made by Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The report also said that Britain was likely to double its forces in Estonia.

"High-speed aircraft, warships and military experts may be sent to protect NATO allies," he said in a statement. He also said he would consider doubling the number of troops and sending defence weapons to Estonia.

Interestingly, last week the British government refused to provide arms to Ukraine. He even considered negotiations with Russia acceptable, as did other European countries. This time, Britain said it was ready to support the Baltic states by taking a different approach and providing military assistance.

To find out the mysterious reasons behind such a British move, Ednews tried to learn views of British journalist Neil Watson. The political analyst tried to clarify several reasons behind the prime minister's decision.

"Despite last week's rejection of Ukraine's request for military support, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson promised to deploy 900 troops to Estonia, thereby doubling British forces in the Baltic state. I think there are several reasons for this. First of all, Estonia, unlike Ukraine, is a member of NATO, and members of the alliance always support each other.

During the conversation, the journalist touched upon the main points of the participation of other European countries in the process.

"France has recently promised to support Romania. If required, the weapons will be sent to the appropriate address immediately. Second, by taking this step, Johnson is trying to send a "message to the Kremlin." This applies to the ongoing and escalating situation in Ukraine, as well as Russia's ambitions for Eastern expansion in Europe. Finally, it plays a role in geopolitical issues. Because Estonia is very close to Western Europe, and as in all Baltic countries, Estonia joined the Soviet Union too late and, unlike Ukraine, has never been fully Sovietized. That is why it is in Britain's interest to keep the West completely independent."

Britain's offer of additional military support to NATO allies will be finalized during talks in Brussels next week. According to the British government, the UK has more than 900 troops in Estonia. As part of Operation Orbital, more than 100 British troops have been deployed in Ukraine and a squadron of about 150 in Poland.

Earlier this week, Polish Prime Minister Mateuj Morawiecki told El Mundo that the European Union was not unanimous about the amount of military aid to Kiev or potential sanctions against Russia if the situation around Ukraine escalates.
