英国前国家安全顾问警告政府须坦诚俄罗斯威胁

英国前国家安全顾问彼得·里克茨呼吁政府向公众坦诚俄罗斯构成的直接威胁。1 里克茨指出俄罗斯的混合战争攻击"日益鲁莽、日益危险"，可能对英国银行、能源和水供系统发动攻击，导致人员伤亡。1

这一警告得到了英国安全部门高层的呼应。MI5局长肯·麦卡勒姆周二表示，MI5投入的资源比冷战时期更多来对抗敌对国家威胁，并称俄罗斯是"第一威胁源"。1 英国陆军参谋长罗利·沃克周五在北约克郡卡特里克营地对700名士兵发表讲话，表示士兵可能需要参加战争。1

Peter Ricketts, Britain's former national security adviser, has warned that the government must be transparent with the public about the direct threat posed by Russia, which could launch hybrid warfare attacks against UK banks, energy systems, and water supply infrastructure 1. Ricketts characterized Russian hybrid warfare operations as "increasingly reckless and increasingly dangerous," with potential to cause loss of life 1.

His warning aligns with recent public statements from senior British security officials. MI5 Director Ken McCallum stated on Tuesday that the agency is deploying more resources to counter hostile state threats than during the Cold War, describing Russia as the "first source of threat" 1. Similarly, British Army Chief of the General Staff Rolly Walker told 700 soldiers stationed at Catterick in North Yorkshire on Friday that they may need to prepare for warfare 1.

The warnings come as President Trump this week moved to ease economic sanctions on Russia and suggested that Ukraine needs new leadership 1.
