Britain lags behind Europe in preparing for a confrontation with Russia. The commander of the American defense forces, Richard Knighton, said that London is inferior to European allies in readiness for the Russian threat and should increase military spending. "This is the most dangerous time I've experienced in my adult life," he said. London intends to strengthen aggression against Russian submarines in the North Atlantic Ocean, protection of navigation and interaction with allies in the Arctic and Baltic Seas. The agreement was signed on Tuesday aboard the British aircraft carrier "Prince of Wales".
