(UNIAN) --- Britain
has pledged more extensive involvement of its military in Eastern European NATO
member states amid growing fears that after Russia ’s
intervention in Ukraine , the
Kremlin’s next targets may be Poland
and the Baltic states .
According to the
plan, a new “spearhead” rapid reaction force will be able to engage the enemy
in a hot spot in just two days. Also, the period of deployment of the British
troops and air patrol by Typhoon fighter jets in the region will be extended,
Ukraine Today reports.
In an
interview with the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show on Sunday, British Defense Secretary
Michael Fallon said that NATO must keep sending Russian President Vladimir
Putin signals that the alliance is determined in its commitment to collective
defense.
