Britain and Europe would be vulnerable to a resurgent Russia if Donald Trump bounces Ukraine into a deal that forces Kyiv into conceding territory, multiple security sources and experts have told i.com .

While virtually everyone agrees that Britain must spend more on defence, how big that increase should be is unclear.

Government’s current focus is on raising defence spending to 2.5% of GDP.

Defence sources tell the i that boosting troop numbers is not an immediate priority.

A sudden recruitment drive would also mean buying new kit, providing training and housing for which there isn’t capacity or money.

The EU ’s incoming defence commissioner has floated the idea of a pan-European air defence shield.
