UK Defence Chief Warns of Russia Threat

The head of the UK's armed forces, Air Chief Marshal Richard Knighton, said that Britain needs to get ready for possible conflicts, especially with Russia.

He wants more people to join the military and for the country to make more weapons and supplies.

He also said that everyone, including regular people, might need to help if there's a war.

The new head of the UK's spy agency, MI6, also warned that Russia is using sneaky ways to cause trouble without starting a full war.

She said Russia is trying to scare and trick people.

The warnings come after Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, said Russia is ready to fight if Europe starts a war.

He also said Russia might block Ukraine's access to the sea.

The UK and other European countries are spending more on defence to get ready for these threats.
