British intelligence infuriated by statements by Secretary of Defense
The media became aware that the British intelligence community was furious because of the incompetent statements of the country's Minister of Defense Gavin Williamson about the "aggressive plans of Russia."
A source who is an employee of one of the intelligence structures, noted that making his statement, Williamson could rely on classified information that was obtained on the condition of confidentiality from the allies of the United Kingdom and the disclosure of these data could lead to mistrust or a complete breakdown of cooperation between partners with London.
According to another British professional intelligence officer, a statement by the head of the Department of Defense was an indication of his incompetence and lack of understanding of international etiquette. The source noted that such statements are speculation and serve to fuel panic. “No one has ever gone that far in quantifying the potential risk of death in the event of a devastating attack on the British infrastructure by Russia or any other hostile country.”
The Ministry of Defense of Great Britain had to make an official refutation of the message that Williamson had divulged official information. But at the same time, the press service of the military department confirmed that the British Foreign Ministry sent a complaint in connection with the defiant tone of the minister.
