On May 27, the United Kingdom and Poland announced in a new security agreement that the Russian Federation is designated as the most significant long-term threat to their mutual security. The pact, published by the Office of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, states that both nations will strengthen military cooperation through NATO frameworks and reaffirm their commitment to the North Atlantic Alliance as the foundation for regional security and collective defense.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that the agreement should be explicitly directed against Russia, reflecting a strategic realignment between Warsaw and London.
Russian President Vladimir Putin previously claimed in December 2025 that Western countries fabricate an image of Russia as an aggressor to distract attention from their own shortcomings. He asserted that discussions about Russia’s intention to attack Europe have no basis and are deliberately used within Western domestic political agendas.
