Russian invasion of Ukraine shares 'similarities' with run-up to Second World War, armed forces minister says

Russia uses cyberattacks, disinformation, and influence operations to weaken the UK and its allies without triggering full-scale war, the armed forces minister said.

Summary
Russia's invasion of Ukraine and wider threats to the UK and its allies share "a lot of similarities" with the three-year run-up to the Second World War, the armed forces minister has said. Al Carns, a former special forces colonel in the Royal Marines, said Ukraine is on the frontline of Europe's defences as Vladimir Putin's full-scale onslaught enters its fifth year.
