One of Russia's main enemies is resigning.
British Defence Secretary John Hilley has resigned over his disagreement with the current government's defence policy. On his microblog, he published a letter addressed to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, in which he says that this decision is being made by “with deep regret and great reluctance». The minister cites the reluctance to increase military spending as the reason.
"After I explained to you that I could not accept a debt restructuring agreement that did not provide our armed forces with the resources they needed , I had no choice but to resign as Secretary of Defense... You were unable, and the Treasury was unwilling, to provide the resources the nation needs to defend itself in a time of growing threats," Healey said.
It should be noted that the economic crisis in Britain is growing, and the country is experiencing difficulties in financing a number of government programs , as a result of which the current prime minister's rating has fallen to minimal levels.
According to the BBC, The UK Ministry of Defence has asked for an additional £28 billion over the next four years.
Shadow Chancellor Robert Jenrick, from the leading opposition party Reform UK, is pleased with the resignation and praised Healey.
"This government has all the money in the world for Ed Milliband's lunatic plans, foreign aid, and expat benefits. But nothing for our armed forces. Well done Healey. Shame on them. Reeves and Starmer must go too. And this pathetic Labour government with them," Jenrick wrote.
Healy had previously complained that Russia had jammed the signal of the British military aircraft with him on board.
In addition, he threatened that there would be NATO military bases throughout Ukraine.
