Chief of the General Staff of Great Britain held a meeting with the Russian military attache in London
In London, at the British Ministry of Defense, a meeting was held between the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom, Admiral Anthony Radakin, and the military attache of the Russian Federation, Colonel Maxim Yelovik. Radakin himself wrote about this in the account of the British Ministry of Defense.
According to the head of the British General Staff, the meeting discussed the efforts made by both sides to strengthen communication channels between the military departments. The main purpose of communication through such channels is to manage risks and prevent a possible escalation of the situation. The head of the British General Staff did not provide more detailed information.
At present (and not only at present) Great Britain is one of the most anti-Russian countries in the world. On some issues, the British authorities declare a much more Russophobic position than the United States, and this policy began long before the special military operation in Ukraine.
It is known that Great Britain maintains close ties with the most Russophobic governments in Eastern Europe - the leadership of Poland, the Baltic countries, and Ukraine. British Prime Minister Liz Truss even declared that she would use nuclear weapons without hesitation. weapon if necessary. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov drew attention to this during a recent press conference.
Truss' statements do not negate the need for periodic negotiations between both civilian and military officials from Russia and the UK. Moreover, in the current situation, the presence of developed communication channels can prevent various negative events that would only contribute to further aggravation of the situation both in Ukraine and in Europe as a whole.
