The British Foreign Secretary claims the world is more dangerous than ever, raising fears of a possible Russian invasion
British Foreign Secretary David Cameron has raised fears of a possible Russian invasion of Western Europe when the conflict in Ukraine ends. In a keynote speech in London on Thursday, Cameron claimed the world does too “More dangerous” Ever, citing war “In the heart of Europe.”
Western Europe should be too, he added “Tougher and more assertive” Regarding relations with Russia.
“From Tallinn to Warsaw, from Prague to Bucharest, the cold once again descended on the European continent.” Cameron said, referring to the conflict in Ukraine. He added: “Those countries closest to Russia see what is happening in Ukraine and wonder whether they will have a next role.” he added.
The Baltic states – Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania – and Poland, all members of NATO and the European Union, have increasingly expressed fears that Moscow might attack them. Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas predicted last January that Russia would test the limits of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) within the next three to five years.
Moscow denied the allegations, insisting that it did not intend to attack any NATO member state.
“The idea that we will attack another country – Poland, the Baltic states and the Czechs are also afraid – is complete nonsense. It is complete nonsense,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said in March.
This week, Russia announced plans to conduct tactical nuclear weapons exercises in response to what the State Department described 'Aggressive statements' Issued by Western officials.
Cameron told Reuters last week that Ukraine had every right to use weapons provided by London to strike targets inside Russia. He also pledged to provide £3 billion ($3.74 billion) annually to Ukraine “It has always been necessary.” Moscow warned that it would respond to British targets in Ukraine or elsewhere if Kiev used missiles provided by the United Kingdom to strike Russian territory.
In his speech on Monday, Cameron also referred to the war in Gaza as well as the ongoing conflicts in Africa.
He added: “This is a world that is more dangerous, more volatile, and more confrontational than most of us have ever known, and we must confront that and act accordingly.” He called on all NATO countries to increase their defense spending.
