Sir Richard Dearlove stated, "Donald Tusk has referred to it as a pre-war situation. I think he's wrong. I think it's an actual war. Between 60,000 and 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed with some 400,000 injured." He emphasized that Russia is engaged in a real conflict with the UK, underscoring the severity of the ongoing situation.
Regarding peace negotiations, Dearlove mentioned that "I think we're in a very difficult situation, and Russia is probably better to have some sort of dialogue with them than no contact at all." He acknowledged the complexity of engaging with Putin in the current climate.
Dearlove expressed his concerns over the UK government's response to threats, stating, "I am deeply worried with this new government," highlighting the perceived lack of urgency from Labour on national security issues amid cuts to defence spending.
