London Hosts Closed-Door Meetings Amid Rising Hybrid Threats
The UK is set to convene secretive meetings with CEOs from the defense and critical infrastructure industries to address the threats posed by Russia. The briefings, to be chaired by armed forces minister Louise Sandher-Jones and security minister Dan Jarvis, will draw on world-class intelligence capabilities and take place in government buildings in Whitehall, London. The move comes amid rising concerns about Russian hybrid threats, including cyber attacks, sabotage, and disinformation, which have been employed to disrupt businesses and organizations that underpin the British way of life. The UK has accused Russia of knowingly seeking to disrupt its defense and critical infrastructure sectors, and has warned of an enduring and significant threat to its interests around the world.
