Britain's foreign intelligence chief, Richard Moore, head of MI6, has accused Russia of waging a "staggeringly reckless" campaign of sabotage across Europe and beyond. In a speech delivered in Paris, Moore highlighted that Russia is conducting covert operations and stepping up its nuclear saber-rattling to deter European nations from supporting Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict. He warned that Russia's actions pose a "massive risk if unchecked" and emphasized that if President Vladimir Putin succeeds, the security of Europe could be significantly compromised. Moore asserted that Russia underestimates the strength of democracies and called for continued support for Ukraine to counter Russian aggression.
