British Prime Minister Risha Sunak in connection with this stated that the war in Ukraine, along with Chinese aggression in Taiwan, threaten to form a world that will be determined by terms such as "danger, chaos and division. " The main estimates of the report published in 2021, shortly before the large -scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, have not changed, but now the UK representatives are described in harder terms.
The Chinese Communist Party called Sunnak "a challenge that forms an era", whereas it was only a "system challenge" earlier.
"The Russian illegal invasion of Ukraine, the use of energy supplies and food as weapons, irresponsible nuclear rhetoric, combined with the more aggressive position of China in the South Chinese Sea and the Taiwan Strait, threaten to form a world that will be determined by such words as hazard , - a global world order that promotes authoritarianism, "he wrote in a preface to the report.
Due to the growing threats, Snak announced that over the next two years, the cost of the UK nuclear forces and submarine fleet will increase by an additional £ 3 billion (3. 4 billion euros). Another 1. 9 billion will be allocated for ammunition reserves (2. 15 billion euros). London plans to increase the defense budget to 2. 5% of GDP. UK representatives give a disappointing forecast for international security for the next few years.
"The threats to the state will grow, they will be different throughout Europe and beyond. The risk of escalation is now higher than ever in the past several decades," the report says that also states that is being developed, tested and adapted more and more different systems armament. Recall that China lowered two newest Type 052d. Ships belong to the fourth generation of destroyers of Navy NVAK.
