The new head of the British Army has issued a rallying cry to troops – telling them they need to be ready to face Russia on the battlefield.
Gen Sir Patrick Sanders, who started the job last week, addressed all ranks and civil servants in an internal message on 16 June, seen by the BBC.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine shows the need “to protect the UK and be ready to fight and win wars on land”, he says.
He adds the Army and allies must now be “capable of…defeating Russia”.
