British troops must be prepared to “fight and win” to stop the spread of war in Europe, the new head of the army has warned.
General Sir Patrick Sanders, chief of the general staff, said Russia is likely to emerge from the war in Ukraine as an even greater threat to European security amid calls for a big increase in UK defence spending.
Speaking to a Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) conference in London, Sir Patrick said it was “dangerous” to assume that Ukraine was a “limited conflict”.
