The British public faces being called up to fight in the event of a war with Russia because the military is “too small”, the head of the Army has warned.

General Sir Patrick Sanders warned the Government of the need to “mobilise” the public if the UK goes to war with Russia.

Sir Patrick wants British men and women to be prepared to fight if Nato goes to war with Russia, who have gained the upper hand in their invasion of Ukraine.

It follows a warning by a senior Nato official that the West faces all-out war with Russia within 20 years.
