In the UK they announced! Will there be a war with Russia? – 2024-02-10 12:06:59

All Britons were reassured by a government statement.

The United Kingdom is ready to repel an “attack” from Russia. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said this in an interview with the TV channel Talk TV, reports The Telegraph.

“Yes, my first task is to ensure our common security,” he said, answering the presenter’s question about whether London is ready to defend itself if Moscow “points its weapons” at Britain.

According to him, the Kingdom is increasing defense investment as the global situation becomes increasingly uncertain. He also mentioned the threat posed by the Houthis to shipping in the Red Sea.

As reported by Politico, the Chief of the General Staff of the British Armed Forces, Patrick Sanders, called on the British to be ready to serve in the army in the event of a conflict with Russia.

At the same time, in early February, the British government’s defense commission published a report stating that the British army was not prepared for a potential large-scale and prolonged war due to personnel shortages, as well as problems related to the recruitment and retention of military personnel .
