Foreign
Secretary interested in proposals to broadcast information on secret wealth of
Putin's circle, as he warns Russia could be "single greatest threat"
to Britain
Britain may broadcast the financial
secrets of Russia’s ruling elite as part of the information war against the
Putin regime, the Foreign Secretary has indicated.
Philip Hammond said he was interested
by the idea of publicising the wealth of the Russian president’s inner circle
in order to embarrass them in front of their people, as part of the response to
the ongoing incursion into eastern Ukraine.
The Foreign Secretary warned that
Putin is rapidly modernising his armed forces, and warned Russia’s bid to
destabilise eastern Europe poses “the greatest single threat” to British
national security.
Mr Hammond said that Britain must now
“accept” that efforts to offer Russia its “rightful place” in the post-Cold War
order had been “rebuffed”.
