* The head of MI6, Richard Moore, warned that abandoning Ukraine would jeopardize British, European, and American security and lead to "infinitely higher" costs in the long term. * Moore believes that if Putin is allowed to subjugate Ukraine, he will not stop there and will challenge Western resolve. * The spy chief emphasized that the cost of supporting Ukraine is well known, but the cost of not doing so would be much higher, with implications for China, North Korea, and Iran. * Moore linked the war in Ukraine to US concerns about China's rising military might and emphasized the importance of intelligence cooperation between the US and UK. * The UK is trying to persuade the incoming Trump administration to continue supporting Ukraine, with a focus on linking the war to US concerns about China. * Moore warned that Western spy agencies have recently uncovered a "staggeringly reckless campaign of Russian sabotage in Europe," including a fire at a DHL warehouse in Birmingham. * #UkraineWar * #RussiaUkraineConflict * #MI6 * #RichardMoore * #Putin * #Trump * #USUKIntelligence * #China * #NorthKorea * #Iran * #WesternSecurity * #NATO * #UkraineSupport https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/29/abandoning-ukraine-infinitely-higher-costs-head-of-mi6
