Sunday, 13 February 2022 (YJC)_ The British defense minister said Russia could launch an attack on Ukraine at any time and that such an attack would be very likely.
On Sunday, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace warned of a possible recurrence of events leading up to World War II.
According to the Sky News website, Wallace said in an interview that the deployment of 130,000 Russian troops on Ukraine's borders indicates that Moscow may "launch its attack at any time" and that such an attack "is very likely".
The British Defense Secretary said about Russian President Vladimir Putin:
He may turn off his tanks and we may all return home, but in some Western countries the smell of Munich seems to have risen.
According to Sky News, Wallace may have been referring to an agreement that allowed Germany to annex the Sudetenland region of western Czechoslovakia in 1938, but that did not prevent World War II.
Wallace also said in a recent interview that "despite intensive diplomatic efforts, Russia continues to deploy troops on the Ukrainian border" is "worrying" and may indicate that the Kremlin has in any case intended to attack the country. Be.
The Ukrainian president recently announced at a news conference that the deployment of Russian forces on his country's borders was not a new event, and it happened last year, but the Westerners did not make a fuss at the time.
Two months ago, however, Western media and officials claimed that the transfer of large numbers of Russian troops to the border with Ukraine could be a sign that Russia was preparing to attack the country.
