A 31-year-old British military man sued the Ministry of Defense with a claim of 1 million euros due to a stutter that he allegedly received as a result of cold weather during his three-week stay in Estonia at the end of November 2017.
In 2018, a similar lawsuit has already taken place. A British soldier of African descent then also sued the military department, which “could not protect him from the frost.”
A similar episode is dated 2016. Then a native of Ghana also froze during the exercises (in 2013). According to the military, because of his nationality, he froze more than other soldiers, and the fighter constantly lacked hot food and drinks.
The British Ministry of Defense, which plans to expand the “counteraction to Russia” in the cold Arctic region, has not made a single payment for any of these claims.
