Britain warns of rising Russian proxy attacks on civilians

In recent weeks, Britain's defence chief has warned of an escalating threat from Russia, particularly as winter approaches. Concerns are growing that Russia will intensify its attacks on Ukraine and may use criminal gangs and proxies to target civilians in Britain. This shift in tactics could complicate attribution and allow the Kremlin to deny involvement. Additionally, reports indicate that Russia is ramping up military recruitment efforts in preparation for a winter offensive, raising alarms about the potential for increased violence and instability in the region.
