Richard Moore, the chief of Britain’s MI6, delivered a stark warning in a Paris speech on Friday about Russia’s aggressive tactics in Europe.
Britain’s MI6 chief highlighted a dangerously reckless Russian sabotage campaign across the continent. Moore emphasized the grave consequences of these actions, especially combined with Russia’s nuclear threats aimed at deterring support for Ukraine.
“We have recently uncovered a staggeringly reckless campaign of Russian sabotage in Europe, even as Putin and his acolytes resort to nuclear saber-rattling, to sow fear about the consequences of aiding Ukraine.” — MI6 chief Richard Moore.https://t.co/wWKC88Bjqa#OSINT…

He articulated the severe risks of not supporting Ukraine, noting that failure to act could embolden other nations like China, North Korea, and Iran, thereby escalating global instability.
