Sir Nick Carter's revelation will be an embarrassment to the premier who had said he is prepared to put British servicemen and women in 'harm's way' to help guarantee Ukraine's security.
Sir Nick Carter, former head of the British armed forces, has criticized the UK's military readiness, stating that Britain is "massively vulnerable" and unable to deter Putin's aggression. He claims the UK lacks sufficient troops to send to Ukraine as a peacekeeping force, with the military weakened by 30 years of neglect and the depletion of resources sent to support Ukraine. Additionally, Britain is unprepared to withstand an air bombardment similar to Ukraine's experience. Sir Nick urges increased military spending to enhance capabilities, particularly if Putin remains a future threat.
