US EditionWest Must Be Prepared For War With Russia, NATO Official Warns Ahead Of Major Military Drills
- British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a major defense review this week calling for the UK to prepare for war in Europe anytime.
- This shift responds to Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine and growing security threats prompting NATO allies like Poland and Germany to increase defense spending.
- The UK plan aims to raise defense spending from 2.3% to 2.5% of GDP by 2027, modernize with 68 billion pounds investment, develop a hybrid navy and sixth-generation fighter jet.
- Starmer said the weapons build-up is "to provide greater European deterrence," and the army will modestly grow from 70,000 combat-ready troops, backed by 62 accepted review recommendations.
- These measures reflect NATO's call to expect conflict with Russia and prepare for reduced US involvement, emphasizing a technology-focused military boost and sustained European defense.
