UK Prime Minister Says Russia Could Attack NATO Within Four Years
Starmer said the warning underscores urgency for a delayed 10-year defence plan and a spending rise to 3% of GDP.
- On Friday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned that western intelligence assessments suggest Russia could attack a NATO country within four years, potentially as soon as 2030.
- Earlier on Friday, Air Chief Marshal Richard Knighton told the BBC this represents the most dangerous period in his 35-year career, requiring enhanced military readiness to deter adversaries.
- Starmer pledged to publish a long-delayed 10-year defense investment plan before next month's NATO summit in Turkey beginning July 7, addressing delays since late last year.
- The Prime Minister insisted the strategy is "fully funded" while committing to raise defense spending to 2.5% of GDP next year, with further increases planned thereafter.
- NATO chief Mark Rutte warned in December that Russia could be ready to use military force against the alliance within five years, echoing concerns President Donald Trump has frequently raised.
