After the publication of the evaluation, British Defense Minister John Healey explained that Europe is faced with war, growing Russian aggression, new nuclear risks and everyday cyber attacks, Reuters said. The Russian embassy subsequently issued an opinion on Tuesday, criticizing the “fresh volley of anti -Russian rhetoric”.
“Russia is not a threat to Britain and its inhabitants,” the statement said. “We do not have any aggressive intentions and we have no plans for attacking Britain. We are not interested in it and we do not need it,” added the embassy in an opinion.
Impaired relationships
Relations between Russia and Britain are at the lowest level from the Cold War. They worsened significantly after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and Britain, along with other NATO Member States, has since provided extensive help from Kiev.
The Chinese Embassy in London also criticized the British Defense evaluation. According to the opinion of the embassy, the document deliberately distorts the defense policy of Beijing to justify British military expansion.
Criticism from China
The evaluation described China as a “sophisticated and persistent call”, referring to its rapid military modernization, including the widespread nuclear arsenal. According to him, Beijing probably uses espionage, cyber attacks, while stealing intellectual property, writes Reuters.
