UK Secretary of Defense to warn Russia about provocation charges
After Brexit, London and its allies need to be ready to use “force,” the British defense minister will announce. For the "annexation of the Crimea, interference with the US elections and the poisoning of Skripale Russia must pay," he will also warn
Reuters and the Times were able to read excerpts from a speech by British Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson, which he will deliver in London on Monday, February 11. According to the materials that the editors of the publication and the agency have seen, the head of the department will declare: after Brexit, the United Kingdom and its allies should be ready to use "hard power" to protect their interests.
The boundaries between peace and war are becoming blurred, Reuters and Times quoted an excerpt from the Minister’s speech. According to the latter, Williamson will blame Russia and China for this.
Speaking about the relations of the West with Moscow, the head of the Ministry of Defense will say that they remain tense on issues such as the "annexation of the Crimea", "interference in the last presidential elections in the United States", as well as poisoning with the nerve agent of the former GRU colonel Sergey Skrypal and his daughter Julia in the UK, writes Reuters. “Russia must pay for such actions,” the agency quotes from a speech by Williamson.
Without citing specific examples, according to Reuters, the head of department will also warn: the cost of non-interference in the situation of Western countries is often "unacceptably high." Western countries, according to the official, can not ignore those who need their help.
“The strategy, which is to speak, but not act, runs the risk of leading us to the fact that our nation will be perceived only as a“ paper tiger ”, - says Williamson.
In addition, in London, according to Reuters, Williamson will talk about the close "military ties" between the United Kingdom and the United States and will support the call by American leader Donald Trump for NATO countries to increase defense spending. Explaining this position, Williamson, according to the agency, will refer to the need to better deal with "Russian provocations."
In addition, according to Times, the Minister of Defense of Great Britain will announce the sending of the flagship of the British Naval Forces, the aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth, first to the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions, and then to the waters of the Pacific Ocean. On board the ship, according to the head of department, there will be two squadrons of British and American F-35 aircraft.
“Brexit led us to a great moment in our history. The moment when we must strengthen our global presence, increase the lethality of our weapons and increase our weight [in the world], ”Williamson said. The rest of the details about this speech, the agency and the publication do not lead.
Relations between Russia and Great Britain escalated in early March last year, after the poisoning in the British Salisbury of the former GRU Colonel Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia. According to the British authorities, both of them were poisoned by the nerve agent Novice, which was previously developed in the USSR. In this regard, as the British Prime Minister concluded, Moscow was involved in the incident “most likely”. The Russian authorities have repeatedly denied the allegations.
