UK premier names Russia among Europe's main threats
Europe is facing growing threats of terrorism, cyber crime, migration and ‘Russian aggression’," UK Prime Minister Theresa May said in a statement ahead of the EU summit on digital technologies due in Estonia on Friday.
"From terrorism to cyber-crime, illegal migration to Russian aggression, the threats we face as Europeans are increasing in their scale and complexity. Now more than ever it is in all our interests to confront them together," the prime minister said in a communique received by TASS on Thursday.
She said that her country played a vital role in the European security.
"With the largest defence budget in Europe, a far-reaching diplomatic network, world-class security, intelligence and law enforcement services, and our position at the heart of NATO, the UK’s role in Europe’s defence has never been more vital," May said.
She added that UK’s role in European security architecture will not decline after Brexit.
