The press service of the Office of the Prime Minister of Great Britain issued a statement by Liz Truss, in which she announced the imminent update of the country’s defense doctrine.
According to the document, this decision will allow “the UK’s architecture in the field of diplomacy, defense and security to keep pace with the growing threat from hostile states.”
It is clarified that the definition of “hostile states” mainly concerns Russia and China.
In this regard, the UK, according to the Cabinet of Ministers, should invest “in strategic opportunities and alliances that are needed in order to firmly resist pressure from such authoritarian forces as Russia and China.”
It is planned that the update will be published by the end of 2022.
