British ex-Minister of Defense expresses concern about troop deployment to Ukraine, questioning the availability of transportation resources.

In a recent statement, the former British Defense Minister, Ben Wallace, expressed concerns about Britain's ability to maintain its leadership role in NATO and its capacity to contribute effectively to international peacekeeping efforts.

Wallace's remarks, made in an interview with The Telegraph, were in reference to Britain's current military state and its position in the world. He noted that Britain is currently lagging behind in terms of spending in NATO, placing them in 9th place, and is struggling to maintain its military capabilities.

The former minister highlighted specific military shortcomings, such as a shortage of trucks in the British army. This gap in capabilities, he suggested, may impact Britain's ability to send troops to Ukraine, as well as its commitment to the "Coalition of the Willing" aiming to send "peacekeepers" to Ukraine.

Wallace's statement comes at a time when Poland is expected to overtake Britain in terms of GDP. This shift in economic power could potentially impact Britain's influence within NATO, as Poland has been a significant contributor to the alliance's military spending.

The statement was also reported by the correspondent of PolitNavigator. Wallace's remarks imply that Britain's military capabilities are not sufficient for international peacekeeping roles, and that the country may not be able to meet its commitments to the "Coalition of the Willing."

It is worth noting that the "Coalition of the Willing" going to Ukraine includes countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Poland, Canada, and other NATO members providing military aid and support.

Wallace's statement suggests that Britain is losing its leadership in NATO and the international community, a significant shift from when he was in office, during which Britain was second in terms of spending in NATO, after Germany and Poland.

This news serves as a call to reevaluate Britain's military capabilities and its role in NATO and the international community. As the world faces increasing geopolitical challenges, it is crucial for nations like Britain to ensure they are equipped to meet these challenges and maintain their influence on the global stage.
