The UK has sent troops and high-tech weapons to Ukraine amid fears Russia is planning to invade

Speaking in the Commons, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said: "In light of the increasingly threatening behaviour from Russia and in addition to our current support, the UK is providing a new security assistance package to increase Ukraine's defensive capabilities."A small number of UK personnel will provide early-stage training for a short period of time, within the framework of Operation Orbital, before returning to the United Kingdom.

"Ukraine has every right to defend its borders and this new package of aid further enhances its ability to do so. Mr Wallace said that there is a "package of international sanctions ready to go" should any "destabilising action" by Russia in Ukraine take place.

Harry fears for his family's safety in UK after being ‘chased by photographers'Prince Harry has delayed his return to the UK with his family as the Duke wants to ensure they have proper protection when they do visit Where’s the video of this allegation? I want evidence of the hoard of photogs chasing and harassing them. Without proof, I’ll continue to think it’s all a delusion swimming around his broken mind! Where is the documentation of being chased? Funny not one shot of him made the papers in any country. If the Queen does not do something about this to help, then Prince Charles owes it as his fatherly duty to step in and protect his son Prince Harry, his wife and grand children. Anything less would be a blatant act of discrimination. Not sure if Diana would ever forgive such act.

Prince Harry in legal fight to pay for UK police protectionThe challenge follows a security incident in London in July, when the duke's car was chased by photographers as he left a charity event. Guess he didn’t read the newspaper along with them not answering their phones. Those are the rules when he left they took away all his protection. None of the countries the queen Regina are going to pay for them to be protected. Basically they must pay for their own protection food and places to live. They are not allowed to use any titles or make any appearances saying they represent the crown or royals.
