British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said that Russia is a nuclear power with a proud history and should not be afraid of NATO, Ukraine or other countries.
The politician also noted that of all the countries on the European continent, Russia has the largest army in terms of numbers.
Its story is to be proud of. We fought together and paid tribute to the participants in the northern convoys for their courage, marking the 80th anniversary of the dispatch of the first of them last year. Russia has nothing to fear from NATO, Ukraine or other countries that seek a peaceful life on the territory of Europe, Wallace said.
Wallace added that the UK will start supplying Ukraine with light anti-tank weapons for defense purposes due to Russia’s actions in the region. According to him, the supplied weapons do not pose a threat to Moscow.
