Dominic Raab to call on Nato allies to ‘face down’ threat from Russia

British foreign minister Dominic Raab will throw his support behind NATO as “a strong, united, political bulwark against Moscow’s de-stabilising activities”, rallying allies to thwart what he said was the threat posed by Russia.

Attending a meeting of the U.S.-led military alliance on Wednesday, Raab will underline Britain’s assessment that Russia poses the “most acute threat” as set out in a document laying out its post-Brexit foreign priorities last week, Reuters reported.

"The UK, as a leading defence and diplomatic power, fully backs NATO as a strong military deterrent to the threats from Russia but also as a strong, united, political bulwark against Moscow’s de-stabilising activities," Raab said in a statement before the meeting.
