According to an expert, Britain and Russia have been engaged in a conflict for a longer time than we may realize. The United Kingdom is already in a state of war with Russia, as warned by the expert. As a result, the government is taking precautions and preparing for potential cyber attacks from Russia that could disrupt the country's power supply and affect millions of people.
During a conference in London next week, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Pat McFadden, will address the issue and emphasize the serious threats posed by Russia. He believes that although military power is a concern, the potential for cyber warfare is equally alarming. With a cyber attack, Russia could easily cause chaos and shut down the power grids, as seen in their ongoing conflict with Ukraine.
Other officials, such as Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall, also recognize the hidden cyber war that is taking place between Russia and Nato, in addition to the open conflict with Ukraine. However, Russia expert Keir Giles points out that the use of terms like 'hybrid', 'subthreshold', or 'hidden' war allows government authorities to downplay the severity of the situation. Giles argues that it is crucial to acknowledge the ongoing war with Russia and take appropriate action.
The threat of cyber attacks from foreign actors is not a new issue. In fact, it was recently reported that the UK's critical drinking water supplies were impacted by a record number of incidents in 2024. However, these incidents were not officially disclosed, according to Recorded Future News. Pat McFadden intends to raise awareness of this issue during his speech to Nato, as well as highlight the ongoing subsurface conflict with Russia that most citizens are unaware of.
Giles stresses that recent events, such as interference issues in various flight zones and the National Cyber Security Centre's warning about state-aligned adversaries, are evidence that this conflict has been going on for more than a decade. He also notes that McFadden's upcoming speech may seem like old news, but it is important to remember that the constant online threat from Russia is still very much present.
Just a few days ago, a fleet of unknown drones flew over three UK airbases, including one that stores nuclear warheads. It is uncertain whether these drones were operated by a hostile party. However, Giles emphasizes that threats to disrupt the UK's power supply, which McFadden will discuss in his speech, are not a new concept.
On Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips, Work and Pensions Secretary Kendall echoed McFadden's concerns about the hidden war with Russia, specifically in relation to the national grid. She acknowledges that Russia will stop at nothing to destabilize both Ukraine and their Nato allies.
McFadden's upcoming speech comes at a time of heightened tensions, with the US allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles to strike within Russian territory. This has sparked fears of a larger conflict, with Ukraine's ex-military commander-in-chief even stating that World War III has already begun. Valery Zaluzhny, Ukraine's envoy to Britain, believes that with the involvement of Russia's allies such as North Korea, Iran, and China, this conflict has turned into a global one.
In conclusion, it is clear that Britain has been in a state of war with Russia for a long time. The ongoing conflict, both open and hidden, poses a serious threat to the country's safety and stability. It is crucial for government authorities to acknowledge the severity of the situation and take necessary action to protect their citizens.
