Global Attack: Putin uses a single weapon against the whole world - the Ministry of Defense of Britain

According to British intelligence, Russia will continue to use energy as weapons to achieve global economic benefits and political influence. During the two years of a full -scale war in Ukraine, Russia has sought to use energy as a major weapon. This was reported by the UK Ministry of Defense on Twitter.

According to the summary, Russia's attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure have led to large -scale electricity shortages throughout the country, while Russian President Vladimir Putin has used an energy strategy to violate security worldwide. "Reduced gas flows into Europe, limiting pipeline exports and changing the payment terms, Putin sought to undermine the unity of the whole of Europe against the illegal war conducted by Russia," the statement said.

According to information from British intelligence, it is likely that the use of energy as weapons will remain one of the tools of coercion. "It is quite likely that Russia will continue to use energy as weapons to achieve global economic benefits and political influence, which means a link between energy, security, political and military purposes," - said in the Ministry of Defense of Britain.

We will remind, in March 2023 the World Bank and the European Commission estimated the needs of Ukraine to restore $ 411 billion. On January 3, 2024, Prime Minister Denis Shmigal stated that Ukraine needs more than $ 37 billion external funding for this year. The government leader called support leaders who remain unchanged. It is the European Union, Canada, the USA, Japan, the IMF, the United Kingdom, the World Bank.
