Keir Starmer warned that Russia could launch an attack on NATO by 2030, according to intelligence assessments.

The British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has issued a warning regarding the threat posed by Russia, stating that assessments from British intelligence services and other NATO countries suggest the possibility of a Russian attack on the North Atlantic Alliance by 2030. The statement was made in the context of presenting an investment plan in defense, which will be published soon.

Starmer emphasized the urgency of this issue, mentioning that the new plan will focus on developing the military capabilities necessary for the defense of the country. He also highlighted that increasing the defense budget will generate well-paying jobs in the British industry. These statements come amid rising tensions between Russia and the West, against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine and the need to strengthen the defense capabilities of NATO member states. In recent years, Western officials have pointed out that Russia could pose a direct threat to the security of the Alliance, which is why many NATO countries have increased their military spending.
