UK report shows Russian interference must be taken seriously

British interest in Russian and Soviet affairs has often been reciprocated, notably during the Cold War. But if a controversial report from the British Parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee, which was finally released last week, is to be believed, the interest is not as intense as it should be. Russia “considers the UK one of its top Western intelligence targets,” deploying considerable resources of the state. Its paramount aim is to seek any and every opportunity to create division, not least in NATO member states, hence its clear preference that the UK be weakened through its departure from the EU.
