British soldiers and their allies stationed as peacekeepers in Ukraine "will be allowed to return fire" on Russian soldiers in the event of an attack. The "Guardian" writes about it, citing an official familiar with the plans, and also reports on Sky News. As the "Guardian" points out, even the task forces, led by Great Britain and France, if deployed in Ukraine, will not depend on American systems and technologies, such as Elon Musk's Starlink. An unnamed official familiar with the mission plans told the publication that Western armies in Ukraine would act "in a defensive manner." The approval to "return fire" came after London and Paris announced that the coalition exercises would take place in Poland at the end of November. 11 countries will participate in them. The exercises, as the Guardian writes, were designed to test a scenario for the rapid deployment of European armed forces in Ukraine after the end of the conflict. Moscow has repeatedly come out against all settlement scenarios involving the deployment of forces in Ukraine with the participation of NATO countries. RBC channel at max.
