Noting that 'these are really serious times' with 'rapidly increasingly global threats', John Healey said he wanted to avoid age-old tactics by the army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force of squabbling among each other over limited funds to back pet projects.
The state of the UK's armed forces, hollowed out by decades of cuts, is 'much worse than we thought', Defence Secretary John Healey has revealed. The comments came as Ukraine's former military chief warned that Britain and other democracies need to 'wake up' and consider how to protect themselves from another world war - a level of readiness that would require all of society, not just the military, to be prepared.
warning He recalled how more than 60 million people had died in the first and second world wars. 'Is humanity ready to calmly accept the next war in terms of scale and suffering - this time the third world war?' he said in his first public speech since moving to the UK. General Zaluzhnyi said Ukrainians should 'honestly' share their experiences of 10 years of war with Russia, from an initial invasion of Crimea in 2014 to the full-scale conflict in 2022.
