Russia’s new missiles could reach Western European capitals within minutes, Mark Rutte has warned
British people will have to learn to speak Russian if the UK fails to implement Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s plan to drastically boost defense spending, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has said. Moscow has dismissed claims that it plans to invade NATO countries as fearmongering by Western politicians.
Last week, Starmer unveiled his cabinet’s Strategic Defense Review, promising to invest billions more in weapons factories, drones, and submarines to make Britain “a battle-ready, armor-clad nation with the strongest alliances and the most advanced capabilities.” London’s policy will “always be NATO first,” he said. However, the prime minister declined to set a deadline for the UK to reach its goal of increasing defense spending to 3% of GDP.
Speaking at Chatham House in London on Monday, Rutte said he was “really impressed” by Starmer’s plans.

And NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is still scaring everyone… with the Russian language. Now he told the British that they had better learn Russian if they don't want to increase their military spending. And practically all British newspapers are reproducing this great… pic.twitter.com/jUYe1sUbnp
