Fiona Hill, a key figure in a recent strategic defence review, highlighted the precarious state of the UK's geopolitical position in an interview with the Guardian. She noted that with Russia escalating hostilities, including cyber-attacks and direct threats, the UK faces increased pressure. Additionally, with the U.S. becoming a less reliable ally under Donald Trump's leadership, Hill argued for the necessity of a united and resilient UK response to counter these adversarial moves by Russia, which she believes is positioning itself to become a dominant military force in Europe.
Fiona Hill emphasized that the UK must strengthen its cohesion and resiliency as Russia becomes a more aggressive adversary while U.S. support wanes.
Hill described the UK's complex geopolitical situation, caught between Vladimir Putin's Russia and Donald Trump’s unpredictable U.S. leadership, indicating significant instability.
Highlighting the dangers posed by Russia, Hill noted various aggressive activities including poisoning, assassinations, and cyber-attacks which underline that Russia is indeed at war with the UK.
Hill has long observed these hostilities, having warned back in 2015 that Putin was declaring war on the West, a trend that has increasingly materialized.
