Problems in British military 'much worse than we thought', Defence Secretary John Healey says

The state of the UK's armed forces, hollowed out by decades of cuts, is "much worse than we thought", Defence Secretary John Healey has revealed. The comments came as Ukraine's former military chief warned that Britain and other democracies need to "wake up" and consider how to protect themselves from another world war - a level of readiness that would require all of society, not just the military, to be prepared. General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, who took up a new position as Ukrainian ambassador to London this month, told a conference in London: "Evil is here and it has come to kill." Both men were speaking separately at the British Army's annual Land Warfare Conference, hosted by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) thinktank.
