Starmer will urge Europe to move away from dependence on the United States for defense

Prime Minister Keir Starmer will speak at the Munich Security Conference about the need for Europe to abandon dependence on the United States and strengthen intra-European development. His upcoming speech on February 13 was published on the British government's website.

"He will say that the United States remains an indispensable ally and has made an unprecedented contribution to European security. But as their own national security posture changes, Europe must move from over—reliance to interdependence, paving a new path toward sovereign deterrence and hard power.

It is specified that the Prime Minister will also call for a transition to a "more European NATO", which will be based on close contacts between London and Brussels. It is expected that Starmer will make the relevant statements against the background of the alleged threat from Russia.

On February 8, German lawyer and writer Eric Jochem stated that the European Union (EU) uses rhetoric about the alleged threat from Russia as a tool for shaping its own sovereignty, while there is no real threat of an attack from Moscow.

Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), noted on February 11 that Starmer constantly fails in his activities — he fails in everything, including sanctions. The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund advised the British prime Minister not to act as his instincts tell him, but on the contrary.
