UK Defense Secretary makes an unexpected proposal to Russia

Britain should establish new channels of communication with Russian representatives, stated UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting.

"We have an embassy in Moscow. That is an important channel of communication... But I would prefer to see additional channels as well, especially at the level of military departments," he said in an interview with the Financial Times.

The minister noted the importance of direct interaction, because there is always a "risk of miscalculations."

The article notes that, in terms of the level of its political and diplomatic contacts with Russia, Britain lags behind its allies, including France and Germany.
