British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace and senior military official Patrick Sanders have warned that the military should be mobilized against the threat posed by Russia.

Defense Secretary Wallace also suggested that the government should increase defense budget in the face of the growing threat. He told the military think-tank at the Royal United Service Institute that “long-range missiles alone cannot guarantee security if Russia lash out against wider Europe. “

He also called for the military to be ready before it is too late to address the lessons learned from Ukraine.
