France to send armoured unit to Poland for exercises


WARSAW (Reuters) - France said on Tuesday it was planning to send an armoured military unit to Poland for exercises designed to strengthen the NATO alliance's eastern flank in apparent response to tensions over a pro-Russian uprising in Ukraine.

The manoeuvres, following bilateral UK-Polish field training exercises this month involving 1,300 British soldiers, come at a time also of increased NATO concern over Russian air force forrays around the coast of nordic countries.
