Prince William visited British troops stationed in Estonia. He even sat in a tank near the Russian border, according to BBC and the Prince's statement.

The Prince traveled to Estonia to support British soldiers participating in the UK’s largest overseas deployment, tasked with protecting the Baltic state from potential Russian threats.

During his visit, the Prince met with soldiers, engaged in discussions, and inspected military equipment securing NATO’s eastern flank.

One of the highlights was his appearance in camouflage aboard a Challenger 2 tank and an armored combat vehicle. It was a symbolic gesture of the UK’s commitment to its allies and deterrence against aggression.

"Training alongside the Mercian Regiment in Estonia, honing vital skills for operations in extreme conditions. From field training to weapon systems operation, this deployment is key! So brilliant to see the dedication and expertise of our troops in action," Prince William stated.

Earlier today, Ukrainian soldier-poets paid tribute to the UK for its unwavering support in Ukraine’s fight against Russian aggression.

Five talented servicemen, currently on the front lines or recently in uniform, jointly recited William Ernest Henley’s iconic poem Invictus.

We also reported that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced the creation of a coalition of the willing to ensure peace in Ukraine. The main goal of the coalition is to bring together countries that are ready to send troops to Ukraine.
