1
Accelerate and deepen defence and security cooperation with EU and European partners on Russia threat
Recommendation
The Government should ensure that it accelerates and further deepens defence and security cooperation with the EU and European partners, particularly France, on the threat posed by Russia and the countries that enable it, notably China. As a nuclear power, it is incumbent upon the UK to lead discussions within Europe on forming a coherent response. (Recommendation, Paragraph 7)
