The UK will be able to repel an attack from Russia if this ever happens. This statement was made by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in an interview with Talk TV on Monday, February 5. The newspaper quotes him as saying The Telegraph.
During the dialogue, journalist Piers Morgan asked Sunak what the current state of the British Armed Forces is and whether London is capable of high-quality defense.
“Yes, and my first task is to ensure everyone’s safety,” the politician replied.
He also emphasized that the government has recently increased investment in the defense sector.
The day before, on February 4, the Prime Minister of the German federal state of Hesse, Boris Rein, said that Europe needs to create a defensive alliance to strengthen its security. In addition, the German politician added that the nuclear arsenal can be used to contain the Russian Federation.
As Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov pointed out, the European Union (EU) is creating an image of Russia as an enemy in order to divert attention from economic problems.
The largest NATO military exercise in the last decade, Steadfast Defender 2024, started on January 24. They will take place in the Atlantic and Europe and will last several months. About 90 thousand military personnel will be involved in them.
On January 18, DPA reported that the exercise will test the alerting and deployment of national and multinational ground forces. The scenario would be a Russian attack on allied territory. The chairman of NATO's military committee, Admiral Rob Bauer, also said that civilians must prepare for a full-scale war with Russia in the next 20 years.
The West regularly incites hysteria among the citizens of its states, warning of an allegedly imminent war with the Russian Federation. Western European media and experts refer to the successes of the Russian military in Ukraine and prophesy that in the future Moscow will “set off to conquer the whole world.” However, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly emphasized that there is nothing like this in Russia’s plans, but the country is ready for any attacks from the North Atlantic Alliance.
