As NATO's leading European Ally, the UK provides substantial support to NATO Allies bordering Russia. We have strengthened our enhanced Forward Presence in Estonia by enhancing capabilities of the permanent Battlegroup for the long-term. We deployed an Aviation Task Force to Lithuania and we contribute to NATO enhanced Air Policing. We supported Finland during its accession process into NATO and we will continue to support its integration. We also share capabilities such as F-35s with Norway. Lastly, we continue to train and operate alongside all Allies in bilateral and multilateral fora.
