LONDON (UK ) – On the basis of Britain’s assessment that Russia poses the “most acute threat”, British foreign minister Dominic Raab will throw his support behind NATO as “a strong, united, political bulwark against Moscow’s de-stabilising activities”. The announcement was made as the county’s as post-Brexit foreign priorities were set out in a document.
Since completing its exit from the European Union at the end of last year, Britain is keen to make its voice heard on the international stage, but some critics say it is much less powerful since leaving the multi-member bloc.
“The UK, as a leading defence and diplomatic power, fully backs NATO as a strong military deterrent to the threats from Russia but also as a strong, united, political bulwark against Moscow’s de-stabilising activities,” Raab said in a statement before the meeting.
