The UK cannot afford to ignore the threat posed by Russia, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in an interview with the BBC, shortly before the publication of a new strategic review of defense. The report is expected to call for increased readiness to wage modern warfare, BTA reports.
“We cannot ignore the threat posed by Russia. We saw what happened in Ukraine just over three years ago“, Starmer stressed, answering a question about whether the United Kingdom would send troops to a future European conflict.
