Great Britain decided to sever one of the last remaining channels of communication with Russia, ceasing interaction through the military departments. This decision significantly reduces the chances of restoring such communication between the two countries in the near future.

The severance of military contacts occurred against the backdrop of increasing tensions between the West and Russia. The UK, along with other NATO countries, supports Ukraine in its confrontation with Russia, which leads to increased sanctions and limited cooperation with Moscow.

Moscow has not yet responded to this step from London, but the situation is critical, especially against the backdrop of cold relations between Russia and Great Britain.
