Tobias Ellwood, former Chairman of the Defence Select Committee, likened the current global situation to the pre-World War Two era, warning that Russia's ongoing attacks are part of a deliberate strategy to inflict economic harm and create political confusion in the UK. He emphasized the vulnerability of Britain's infrastructure, particularly in light of recent events like an electrical substation fire at Heathrow Airport. Ellwood urged the need for preparedness against possible attacks and highlighted the European Union's recommendations for members to stock survival kits amid increasing concerns of global war.
We are attacked daily by Russia, let me make that clear, which many Brits may be unaware of.
What Russia does is to probe, to see where there are weaknesses, to use proxy influences - the green men, as they're called - those not in uniform, to cause havoc.
Imagine that happening on a wider scale, meaning that there's no electricity in swathes of the South West or South East or Scotland or anywhere for days on end.
There's a 1938 feel to the world right now, but suspects he won't as the US is part of NATO, for now.
