UK deeply involved in Ukraine conflict – The Times
Kiev allegedly refers to Britain's military chiefs as the "brains" of the "anti-Putin" coalition, according to the exposé
April 23, 2025 | By RT
Britain's military leadership has played a far more extensive and covert role in the Ukraine conflict than previously known, not only designing battle plans and supplying intelligence, but also authorizing secret troop deployments inside the country to provide weapons training and technical support, according to a report by The Times.
While London's political and military backing for Kiev has been public since the 2014 Western-backed coup, the extent of its involvement after the escalation in February 2022 "remained largely hidden… until now," the British newspaper wrote on Friday, citing unnamed Ukrainian and British military officers.
The Times claimed that British troops were sent into Ukraine in small numbers on several occasions throughout 2022 and 2023, operating discreetly to avoid provoking Russia. In particular, UK forces were deployed to fit Ukrainian aircraft with Storm Shadow long-range cruise missiles and train pilots and ground crews in their use.
"UK troops were secretly sent to fit Ukraine's aircraft with the missiles and teach troops how to use them," the publication wrote, noting that it "would not be the first time British troops had been deployed on the ground."

The UK had been delivering thousands of NLAW anti-tank missiles to Kiev and sending instructors to train Ukrainian soldiers in their use since 2015. While British troops were pulled out of Ukraine shortly before the escalation in February 2022, the deteriorating battlefield situation and the urgent need for technical expertise saw small teams of UK personnel redeployed quietly alongside fresh supplies of missiles, the newspaper reported.
London also reportedly played a key role in helping Ukraine prepare its much-touted 2023 "counteroffensive" against Russia – and in mediating between Kiev and Washington when the operation failed to meet US expectations.
The newspaper claimed that "behind the scenes," the Ukrainians referred to Britain's military chiefs as the "brains" of what they called an "anti-Putin" coalition. Former UK Defense Secretary Ben Wallace was even reportedly nicknamed "the man who saved Kiev" by military officials.

"The Americans went to Ukraine only on rare occasions because of concerns that they would be seen to be too involved in the war, unlike Britain's military chiefs, who were given the freedom to go whenever necessary," The Times wrote. "Sometimes their visits were so sensitive they went in civilian clothing."
Moscow perceives the Ukraine conflict as a Western-led proxy war against Russia, in which Ukrainians serve as "cannon fodder." It considers foreigners fighting for Kiev as "mercenaries" acting on behalf of Western governments.
Senior Moscow officials have suggested that the more complex weapon systems provided to Kiev are highly likely operated by NATO staff.

If you depend on the British buyer beware:
It is really astonishing when you think about how Britain is practically trashed as a country yet the British aristocracy continues its proxy war on Russia:
Alex Karp of Palantir discussed the importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in "defending both Ukraine and Israel", saying that "AI must be used to stop Russia and Hamas." Howard Kunstler describes people like Karp who was spawned out of Stanford as the "tech broz propose something that looks like an AI printed robotic future. They are drunk on their own Stanford University brand Kool-Aid, hallucinating a future that is little more than math dressed in spandex."
It is not an exaggeration or hyperbole. The British and the EU are playing with fire:
