Russian embassy blames London for severing military-to-military communication
According to the statement, military communication channels were cut at Britain’s initiative in 2024, when London chose to expel Russia’s Defense Attache "on a flimsy pretext"
LONDON, November 10. /TASS/. The Russian embassy in the United Kingdom has recalled that the responsibility for severing contacts between the two countries’ military rests on London.
"Just a reminder: military communication channels were cut at Britain’s initiative in 2024, when London chose to expel Russia’s Defense Attache on a flimsy pretext," the diplomatic mission said in a commentary posted on its Telegram channel following UK Secretary of State for Defense Wes Streeting’s interview with The Financial Times, where he called for establishing additional channels of communication between the two countries, in particular military-to-military links, to reduce a "risks of miscalculation."
According to the media outlet, London is seeking to establish contacts with Moscow, as other countries, including the United States, France, and Germany, are already engaged in dialogue with Russia to one degree or another.
