Rejected petition No to Nato military exercises in Ukraine

More details

We note with great concern that UK and US troops are scheduled to participate in joint military exercises in Ukraine in July as part of NATO’s Rapid Trident manoeuvres. Ukraine is not a member of NATO. Its participation in military exercises by a nuclear-armed alliance with a first-strike policy can only further destabilise the country.

We call on the British government to urge the US and other NATO governments to cancel this July's Rapid Trident exercise, and to give a plain and public undertaking that Britain will not participate.
