Cameron is confident that the West has not learned the lesson of russia's invasion of Ukraine and that authoritarian opponents will only become more active if the West is indecisive or overly cautious.

The British Foreign Secretary insists that Britain has a chance to weaken russian influence in Central Asia, saying it is possible to strengthen bilateral relations with countries that "see the destructive, revolutionary policies of our adversaries as a threat to their security and prosperity."
Addendum
In addition, Cameron will raise the issue of defense spending among NATO member states. According to him, the urgent task is not only to achieve the target of 2% of GDP allocated to defense, but also to move to 2.5% as a new benchmark.
The publication adds that Spain, Belgium, and Canada are among the countries that are still far behind the 2 percent target .
Recall
Earlier, Bloomberg reported that Britain is seeking to undermine russia's monopoly on uranium fuel, which is expected to play a key role in powering a new generation of small reactors.
