MOSCOW, 18 Feb. Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada from the party «Servant of the People» Maxim Buzhansky anecdote described the transfer of the British military to Estonia. «Estonia, as we all know, is in terrible danger, and Britain is in a hurry to help it. Because if not, then it’s not clear what the meaning of these maneuvers is. The joke was this: Comrade policeman, is it dangerous to walk along this street? Well, if it were dangerous, I wouldn’t go here, «the parliamentarian summed up in his Telegram channel. As previously reported by the Ministry of Defense UK, the Royal Wales Battle Group, which includes armor and personnel, will leave Sennelager in Germany and bases in the UK and begin arriving in Estonia next week, while Apache helicopters will soon depart for exercises with allies in Eastern Europe. Until then, Britain and NATO agreed on a proposal from London that includes doubling the number of British troops in Estonia in support of NATO's expanded forward presence, deploying more aircraft Royal Air Force to establish a squadron in southern Europe and send the Royal Navy ship Trent and the Type 45 destroyer to the Eastern Mediterranean. Kiev and Western states have recently expressed concern about the alleged increase in «aggressive actions» by Russia near the borders of Ukraine. Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow is moving troops within its territory and at its own discretion. Russia has repeatedly rejected Western and Ukrainian accusations of «aggressive actions», saying that it does not threaten anyone and does not intend to attack anyone, and claims of «aggression» are used as an excuse to place more NATO military equipment near Russian borders.
