THE Green Party would seek to move Britain out of Nato in the long term once the conflict in Ukraine is over, its co-leader said today.

Adrian Ramsay told Sky News that he did not want to “change structures in the middle of a conflict” but believes that Britain should withdraw from the military alliance in the future.

Asked whether the Greens’ position on Nato has changed as a result of the Ukraine conflict, Mr Ramsay confirmed it has not.

He said: “We have a long-term policy about reviewing what structures we need to have to build peace in the world and we have to remember this conflict has happened at a time when we are part of Nato, when we are still seeing nuclear weapons dominate.”

Mr Ramsay suggested that Britain needs to focus on “peacekeeping and getting the parties to the table” as well as “stronger economic activity.”

He said: “Across Europe we are still sending a billion euros a day to Vladimir Putin’s war machine from buying Russian oil, gas and coal and we need to wean ourselves off this addiction, which of course the Greens want to do.”
