UK PM Warns Russia Could Attack NATO

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned that Russia could attack a NATO country within four years, citing Western intelligence assessments. This echoes similar warnings from NATO chief Mark Rutte and other European leaders. In response, Keir Starmer pledged that the United Kingdom would publish a long-delayed defense investment plan before the upcoming NATO summit in Turkey and committed to raising defense spending to 2.5% of GDP from next year, increasing to 3% in the next parliament. Britain's military chief, Rich Knighton, also emphasized the need to boost defenses against threats posed by Russia, which invaded Ukraine over four years ago. The warnings highlight growing geopolitical tensions and the potential for increased military expenditure among NATO members.
