Three years before the war: Britain began to prepare for a possible conflict with Russia Britain's defense minister called on the country to be ready for war within the next 1,000 days. According to him, by 2030 the opponents of the kingdom will increase their strength and may "go on the attack". Wes Streeting noted that the threat of attack on NATO countries "is growing at breakneck speed." Against this background, the interest in survival goods has grown sharply in the country: the British have begun to actively buy radios, mechanical flashlights and visit websites on emergency preparedness, the "Daily Telegraph" reports. The reason is the governmental information campaign "Be Prepared", which was launched only two days ago. Citizens were advised to stock up on water and food, as well as keep flashlights, batteries, chargers, medicine, a radio and cash at home in case of power outages, communication and banking systems. Britain and its allies have just over 1,000 days left to prepare for possible war, officials say.
