(Reuters) – The UK Treasury has signaled that there is no money for defense despite recognizing the urgent need to rearm in the wake of Russia’s war in Ukraine, Sky News reported on Sunday citing defense sources.
Britain will be unable to offer as many troops as NATO allies would expect to a major new force structure being drawn up by the alliance to bolster its defenses, the report added.
