The Guardian writes about it.
According to him, the Russians have a special naval program that aims to observe or attack the critical infrastructure of their enemies.
They have a number of submarines and other pieces of equipment, spy ships and everything else specifically designed for this purpose, the defense minister said.
Therefore, the critical infrastructure area of the West is now in need of protection.
What we can say without a doubt is that Russia intends to target the West’s critical national infrastructure as well. We must have the intention and the ability to protect it,” Wallace said.
In addition, according to the British minister, he would like to take the post of NATO Secretary General.
Being Secretary General of NATO would be a fantastic job, and NATO is vital to our entire security. I would be happy to do my part to ensure that you can sleep peacefully, the minister said.
At the same time, Wallace made it clear that he is also pleased with his current role as Secretary of Defense in the British government. If appointed, Ben Wallace will become the first Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance to represent the UK in 20 years.
Acting NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who has been in office since October 1, 2014, was supposed to resign last year and planned to head the central bank in his native Norway, but due to Russia’s attack on Ukraine, it was decided to extend his term of office until September 30. 2023.
