“The international world order is under threat like we have not seen since the Cold War,” the heads of the foreign intelligence services of the United Kingdom and the United States have warned.
Sir Richard Moore and William Burns, the heads of MI6 and the CIA, also said the two countries stood together to resist an assertive Russia and Putin’s war of aggression in Ukraine.
In a first-ever joint article, Sir Richard Moore and William Burns wrote in the Financial Times that they had seen the war in Ukraine coming “and were able to warn the international community”, partly by declassifying secrets to help kyiv.
They also said efforts were being made to “disrupt the reckless campaign of sabotage” waged by Russia across Europe, to push for de-escalation in the war between Israel and Gaza and to combat terrorism to thwart the resurgence of the Islamic State.
