The United Kingdom's Chief of the Defence Staff, Richard Knighton, said that Russia has noticeably increased its military strength, according to a report by the Russian state news agency TASS.
Knighton reportedly stated that the global security situation is "getting more dangerous," though TASS did not provide additional context, such as the venue, date, or full remarks accompanying the statement.
The report did not specify what evidence or metrics Knighton cited in assessing Russia's military buildup, nor did it detail any accompanying policy response from the UK government.
