Europe For Peace: Stop the War in Ukraine – Next Weekend

Claims that Britain is not directly involved in the war in Ukraine were shot down this week by the leaked Pentagon documents. The leaks revealed Britain has more special forces operating in Ukraine than any of our allies – half of NATO’s 100 special forces in Ukraine are British troops. As Lindsey German said, the revelations “give the lie to the claim that NATO forces are not at war with Russia,” with Britain maintaining its position “at the forefront of urging war not peace.”
