Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has shared his support of NATO as he pays visit to their base in Estonia.

Declaring Russia a "threat to Europe", Starmer outlined his stance on the ongoing conflict between Putin's country and Ukraine.

Speaking to the media, Starmer said: "I'm here to say thank you to our troops here in Estonia who are based on the border pretty much with Russia for the work they're doing, keeping us safe, the work they're doing for NATO, but also to reaffirm our unshakable commitment for NATO and our unshakable commitment to Ukraine.

"And to remind everybody that Russia is a constant threat not just now but into the future. So I'm here, this is my second time coming here just to say thank you to the troops."
