There is “absolutely no evidence” that the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin Peace in Ukrainethe outgoing chief of the Foreign Intelligence Agency of Great Britain said Friday in a speech. Sir Richard Moore, head of the Secret Intelligence Service, or Mi6, as he is more commonly known, said Putin was “chaining.”

“He seeks to impose his imperial will at his disposal. But he can’t succeed,” said Moore. “However, Putin has bit more than he can chew. He thought he was going to win an easy victory. But he and many others underestimated Ukrainians.”

Moore was talking at the British consulate in Istanbul after five years as Chief of Mi6. Leave the post at the end of September.

During his term, Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, a war that has seen tens of thousands of dead and still enraged, mainly in eastern Ukraine.

Moore said the invasion had strengthened the Ukrainian national identity and accelerated its west trajectory, in addition to pushing Sweden and Finland to join NATO.

“Putin has tried to convince the world that Russian victory is inevitable. But lies. Lies to the world. He lies to his people. He may even lie to himself,” Moore told a press conference.

He said that Putin was “mortgaging the future of his country by his own personal legacy and a distorted version of history” and that the war was “accelerating this decrease.”

Speaking Thursday during a state visit to the United Kingdom, president Trump expressed frustration with Putinsaying that I expected the war in Ukraine to be easy to finish, as he suggested that he would do so before assuming the position, “due to my relationship with President Putin”, but that the Russian leader “really disappointed me.”

That comment arrived approximately one month after Mr. Trump met with Putin in AlaskaAnd he said after his summit that he believed that the Russian leader wanted to end the war.

Moore, who previously served as an ambassador to the United Kingdom in Ankara, the Turkish capital, added that “greater powers that Russia have not been able to subjugate powers weakest than Ukraine.”

Analysts say that Putin believes that he can overcome the political commitment of the western partners of Ukraine and gain a prolonged war of wear to wearing the smallest Ukraine army with a great weight of numbers.

Meanwhile, Ukraine is running to expand its defense cooperation with other countries and ensure billions of dollars of investment in its national weapons industry.

Recruit digital spies

Moore’s speech occurred when the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the launch of a new Dark Mi6 web portal destined to recruit “new agents in Russia and worldwide.”

Called “Silent Couer”, the United Kingdom government said the portal would take advantage of the anonymity of the dark website and allow “any person in the world with access to confidential information related to terrorism or hostile intelligence activity to safely contact the United Kingdom and offer their services.”

The United Kingdom Foreign Ministry said the instructions on how to access the portal would be available on its YouTube channel, and that it was modeled in a similar approach adopted by the United States Central Intelligence Agency.

“We are asking those with confidential information about global instability, international terrorism or hostile state intelligence activity that communicate with Mi6 online,” Moore said during his speech in Istanbul, according to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. “Our virtual door is open for you.”

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also said that a new association with Google Cloud would improve communications between the United Kingdom and the United States.

“After the second historic of the president of the United States State visit to the United Kingdom This week, the United Kingdom and the USA continue to strengthen their defense and security relationship in an increasingly uncertain world, “said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.” Last week, a new association with Google Cloud means that the United Kingdom and the United States can communicate safely, so the United Kingdom and our closest ally can overcome hostile actors who seek to cause chaos for work people through everyday life, including the attempt to steal sensitive information and launch Cybers Cappensil Campsamps “”.
