British Defense Minister calls Russia "number one threat"

"We are regularly visited by curious Russian ships, now we are regularly visited by several Russian warships," Wallace is quoted as saying by The Telepragh.

According to him, the British side tried "de-escalation".

He added that a Russian submarine was sighted in the Irish Sea late last year.

Earlier, a draft report was presented at the Committee on Foreign Relations of the European Parliament, in which they outlined several fundamental areas of cooperation between the EU and the United States. In particular, the document read by RT mentions the need to counter the "Russian threat" and "Chinese disinformation."
