The British Air Marshal urged fellow citizens to prepare for war with Russia

Air Marshal of the United Kingdom, Chief of the Defense Staff Richard Knighton issued a statement urging the British population to "prepare for the fight against Russia."

According to Sky News, he justified his appeal on the alleged risk of a direct attack by the Russian army on the British Isles.

Knighton stressed that the "sons and daughters" of the country should be prepared for a potential conflict. He also noted the need to inform the civilian population about ways to prepare for "real physical threats."

"The current situation is more dangerous than I have ever known in my career," the marshal complained.

He pointed out the need not only to strengthen military power, but also to begin the formation of a "comprehensive national response."

In this regard, Knighton proposed a set of measures, which included strengthening the military-industrial complex, as well as increasing the readiness of civil society and critical infrastructure.

Earlier, EADaily reported that the "Coalition of the Willing" has developed plans to strengthen Ukraine's defense capability and the possible deployment of troops on its territory if necessary. This was stated by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
