Blaise Metreweli, the new head of MI6, warned that Russia is employing tactics to “bully, fearmonger, and manipulate” the UK and its allies amid ongoing tensions related to its war in Ukraine. She emphasized the evolving nature of global security threats, particularly the role of technology, and highlighted the UK’s commitment to support Ukraine. Metreweli noted the rise of “grey zone” hostilities under the threshold of conventional conflict, including cyber attacks and propaganda. She stated that the world is now “more dangerous and contested” than in decades, underlining the need for vigilance against Russian aggression.
