TEHRAN, November 24 -The head of the British army has said that Russia poses more threats to the UK than the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -General Mark Carleton-Smith said on Saturday that Russia was using whatever it could to harm the interests of Western countries, including Britain.
“The Russians seek to exploit vulnerability and weakness wherever they detect it,” Carleton-Smith said in an interview with the Daily Telegraph, adding that Britain “cannot be complacent about the threat Russia poses”.
The remarks are the most pointed at Russia from Britain since relations deteriorated in March with the poisoning of a former Russian spy in the southern English city of Salisbury.
London accused Moscow of ordering the attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia. Russian authorities have consistently denied the accusations, even after London released images showing two suspected members of Russia’s military intelligence service GRU travelling to Salisbury in March.
