Former defence minister Tobias Ellwood MP says that the UK must do more to support Ukraine by supplying equipment, weapons and even sending troops to provide training there.
Mr Ellwood warned that a tactical nuclear weapon could be used by a state within the next 5 years and that a response to such a move had yet to be planned for.

Tobias Ellwood tilting at windmills yet again. Anyone would think he was bonused on how much extra business he could drum up for the arms industry based on pure scaremongering.
Britain is just a blind follower of frog initiatives, no leadership whatsoever.
Oh they are jumping on the let’s fund Israel discreetly band wagon! Israel owns half the UK defence companies. We need to be downsizing or taking back control of our defence industry, not feeding the madman Netanyahu!
Elwood.. what an absolute melt.:

Finally, a tory with a vague idea of strategic vision. Pity his shower hollowed-out the military.
NO to all of it.
77th Toby is at it again 🥴🤦🏽♂️🤡
China has been bullying Australia lately, ( in subtle ways ). Trying to strategically surround Australia. Australia had better protect its interests closer to home. Not Ukraine. Chinese nationals, ( military-aged men ), have begun illegal entry – illegal immigration – onto the island of Guam, a US territory. Guam Island houses the so-called "Guam Magazine". That's the US Navy's ordnance arsenal for resupplying the US Navy's Pacific Fleet. If China takes any aggressive action in the South Pacific, the US Navy may be cut-off from its ordnance arsenal on Guam, ( that appears to be China's plan by flooding the island with Chinese nationals ). China may move against Taiwan, ( that's expected ). Or, even Australia. Who will help Australia, if that happens? The United States? THINK about it?
Stop warmongering and start looking for peaceful solutions to conflicts instead of destruction!
we aint got an army because the foreigner comes first,
All the UK does is bully and attack african and middle eastern nations. 2.5% budget spending is more then enough for that!!
How can Britain be better equipped when we are giving our weapons to Ukraine. DUH
These comments are completely without historical context of Ukraine and Palestine.
Tobias Elwood a British hypocrite who has already taken the British taxpayers for a ride.
As British aswell as others western alliance have involved themselves. This war is going to be ongoing v Putin if cornered he will resort to use of nukes against western targets.

These are the hypocrites who expect others to give thier lives. So these guys can enjoy lavish lifestyle
Europe should send troops to Ukraine.
Enough blabber! Defend Ukraine!
Putin is today’s version of Hitler. Opposing him with force is not warmongering. Britain should defend Europe and democracy from a mad Russian tyrant.
Isn't Ellwood the Tory chump who said the Taliban were making progress to improve Afghanistan?
Does Tobias Ellwood realise that if UK Forces were deployed to Ukraine Russia would view it as a declaration of war, not only would UK Forces become a legitimate target but the United Kingdom would also come under Russian attack. The clown was forever advocating that Putin was terminally ill and that Russia was heavily loosing in everything it engaged in but now he dramatically U turns and admits that Russia is winning. NATO is a defensive force not an offensive force. What on earth is Tobias smoking ?
Who reduced the size of the army
not a priority for us in the UK ! i.e. not really a threat , – poor ukrainians – thier partners are just not interested anymore
a day is a long time in politics
