The Green Party today reiterated its desire for the UK to quit Nato - once the war in Ukraine has ended.
Its co-leader Adrian Ramsay told Sky News he did not want to 'change structures in the middle of a conflict', but believes the UK's long-term aim should be to leave the military alliance.
Nato has been given a new lease of life by Vladimir Putin's aggressive assault, with the alliance forming the bedrock of aid to Kyiv to help it fight back Russian forces.
But asked on Sky News whether the Greens' position on Nato has changed as a result of the Ukraine conflict, Mr Ramsay confirmed it has not.
Asked to confirm again that the Greens want the UK to leave Nato, he added: 'Yes, that is our long-term policy that we would like to see far greater focus on peacekeeping institutions and institutions that support a reduction in our nuclear weapons and countries moving away from nuclear weapons.
'But in the short-term, of course we are not proposing moving out of Nato in the middle of a conflict.'
