John Healey insisted the deterrent was the 'ultimate guarantor' of the UK's security amid rising tensions and questions about the Nato alliance.
Amid the NATO crisis, the UK Defence Secretary warned Putin that Britain's nuclear deterrent can inflict "untold damage" on Russia, calling the weapons the "ultimate guarantor" of security. This statement was made during a meeting of defence officials from 31 allied countries. The Prime Minister ruled out redeploying troops from other countries to Kyiv but pledged support to Ukraine by air, sea, and land if a deal is reached. Negotiations are ongoing, with Russia demanding a complete stop to military support for Ukraine in exchange for a deal, while Ukraine has agreed to a 30-day ceasefire.
