Will fight with threats from the Russian Federation: in Britain have created a new police unit - Reuters

According to the Assistant Commissioner Matt Jux, the number of provocations by enemy states will increase on the eve of the election. There is more misinformation on the Internet than it was last. The UK police have created a new special unit that will have to fight threats from several hostile states. Reuters writes about it. The British police unit, announced on January 19, will have to fight the dangers of China, Iran and Russia.

Anxiety is due to the fact that in 2024 national elections should take place and there is a risk of various provocations. The head of the British police to fight terrorism and the assistant commissioner Matt Jux said that the threats from the above countries are now "stronger than during the Cold War. " "I do not want to be modest. We are talking about parts of the state apparatus of Iran, China and Russia.

We will become the most open part of the British security community, which increases the response to the actions of hostile states," Matt Jux said. By the way, the material separately mentions the law in the field of security, which was adopted in Britain last year. It should complicate espionage, theft of commercial secrets and interference with the political system of London. The new unit, as the commissioner's assistant says, will have to fulfill the powers registered in the law.

Matt Juks also added that now the amount of misinformation on the Internet is much larger than before the previous elections. We will remind, on December 10 it was reported that Boris Johnson could return to the post of Prime Minister of Britain. According to the polls, the ratings of the ruling British party continue to fall, so deputies are looking for opportunities to remedy the situation before the elections. The representative of the former minister did not comment on his political ambitions.
