‘We can’t sit back and watch’: Former MI6 boss says Britain must get ready for war as Putin threatens Europe Story by Sam Kiley Independent 6 April 2025. "Britain needs to rearm and build reserves through a form of national service to defend against Vladimir Putin’s hopes of dominating eastern Europe and undermining the West, the former head of MI6 has warned.
Sir Alex Younger said people in the UK must realise that the threat from Russia – and its closeness to the US – is real, adding: “Putin and Trump together have done their best to persuade us that the rules have changed.”...“It really depends on how close to Moscow you are. I think in Finland it’s well understood and there’s a properly integrated resilient culture where everyone is accustomed to playing their part. I think we go to Portugal at the other end that’s just not true – and in a sense that’s understandable.... According to the Washington-based Centre for Strategic and International Studies, there was a 300 per cent increase in unconventional attacks on Europe by Russia last year, 2023-2024.
“Roughly 27 per cent of the attacks were against transportation targets (such as trains, vehicles, and airplanes), another 27 per cent were against government targets (such as military bases and officials), 21 per cent were against critical infrastructure targets (such as pipelines, undersea fiber-optic cables, and the electricity grid), and 21 per cent were against industry (such as defence companies),” the CSIS said in a report last month.

"Putin has insisted that Moscow wants a comprehensive agreement ensuring a lasting settlement, but Kyiv firmly rejects his demands for territorial concessions and limitations on Ukrainian foreign relations.
Ukraine has also alleged that Putin has intentionally made maximalist demands in the talks as a way of stalling any actual agreement." German foreign minister says Ukraine peace talks at 'deadlock' but China disagrees
"With Russia's invasion of Ukraine now in a fourth year, approximately 6.9 million Ukrainian refugees have crossed into neighbouring countries, including Poland, Hungary, Moldova, and other countries around the world.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський on X: "Last night alone, Russia launched 172 strike drones — over 100 of them were Shaheds. These massive drone attacks have now become a near-daily reality. On top of that, there are continued missile threats, including ballistic ones. Our partners should clearly understand: these https://t.co/UNaYVDfZHj" / X understand: these strikes are not just attacks on Ukrainian civilians, but also on all international efforts — on the very diplomacy we are trying to use to end this war.
Russia is striking at the positions of everyone who wants to end this war. It is impossible to ignore hundreds of Shaheds every night. We expect a response. We are working toward a response. A strong response is needed — from the U.S., from Europe, from everyone in the world who has placed their bets on diplomacy. Russia must be forced into peace — only pressure will work.
For far too long, the U.S. proposal for an unconditional ceasefire has been on the table — without a proper response from Russia. That says a lot. There could already have been a ceasefire — if there had been real pressure on Russia.
I thank those partners who understand this and are pushing the necessary decisions forward — including new sanctions.30 March 2025
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський on X: "Throughout last evening and night, Russia attacked Ukraine with more than 170 drones, including over 100 Shaheds. This massive attack targeted the Dnipro, Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Khmelnytskyi regions. All night in Dnipro, the aftermath of this attack was being dealt with. As of https://t.co/LWZLXLqG7r" / X As of now, four people are confirmed dead. My condolences to their families and loved ones.
Twenty-one people were injured, including a pregnant woman. Residential buildings, a hotel-restaurant complex, garages, and a car repair shop were destroyed or damaged in the city.
Unfortunately, there was destruction in every region that came under attack. Our unwavering gratitude goes to everyone helping people on the ground after such strikes – those rescuing, providing medical aid, and clearing the rubble.
Russia mocks the world’s peace efforts – dragging out the war and committing these acts of terror because it still doesn’t feel real pressure. Diplomacy can work, but only when backed by actions that strengthen our warriors and deprive the occupiers of the resources to wage war. Our partners know what can help, what kind of pressure, and it depends on America, on Europe, on everyone in the world who wants effective diplomacy.Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський on X: "Today, there was a detailed report by Ukraine’s Minister of Defense, Rustem Umerov — particularly regarding support packages from our partners. Some new good agreements have been reached. There is also an understanding that a new meeting in the “Ramstein” format should take place https://t.co/DaqWyznKqn" / X “Ramstein” format should take place as early as April — with Germany and the United Kingdom currently leading the format. We are working on its substantive content.
I have instructed the Minister of Defence to present to our American partners all the facts regarding damage to our energy infrastructure caused by Russian attacks. Just in the past 24 hours, there was a targeted Russian drone strike on gas infrastructure in the Poltava region. There was also an artillery strike on Kherson, which damaged the city’s power infrastructure. Yesterday, one of Russia’s attacks on Kharkiv damaged the city’s heating supply infrastructure.
All of this shows that Russia will continue to sabotage diplomacy, and that Moscow’s only tactic remains dragging out the war. Putin may say things that sound like he agrees with the American side, but in reality, the Russian army keeps pushing forward with all available military means. Therefore, pressure on Russia is needed for diplomacy to work.

Politics before World War III. The president of the USA spoke very clearly to the President of Ukraine, who was elected after the USA and European Union (27 States of Europe) managed Ukraine's elections, that financial help would be given but no membership of the EU. Zelesky prepared for war. Sensing that Ukraine may wage war, Russian forces invaded Ukraine, and the war started on 24 February 2022.
Read Peace or War ( 1 March 2025), and World War III (7 November 2022) before reading this blog. War can still be avoided if leaders forgo their greed, grievance, and ego. Read also New World Order (23 July 2021), War Strategy (23 Nov 2021), Ukraine (9 January 2022), Russia Ukraine (25 Feb 2025), Poland prepares for war, and World War III (24 March 2022). Most of these blogs contain news from X and other news channels. It may give an idea of how the leaders play with the future of humanity to gain their political ego and supremacy. Future generations may read only writing by victor and main reason of war may be obfuscated.
