UK ministers to brief defence companies, infrastructure providers on Russia threats

-

LONDON, Sept ‌25 (Reuters) - British ministers will brief ​defence companies and providers of critical national ⁠infrastructure on the threat posed by Russia, the government said on Friday, ​amid increasing concerns about possible sabotage operations ‌and cyberattacks.

• Security minister Dan Jarvis will brief industry bodies representing national infrastructure ⁠providers, and armed forces minister ⁠Louise Sandher-Jones will meet with industry bodies for defence firms

• Britain's Cabinet Office said: "Russia poses an enduring and ‌significant threat to the UK and ⁠its interests around the ‌world."

• Prime Minister Andy ​Burnham this week accused Russia of having "used every means at their disposal ‌to spread lies and ​disinformation", which Russia ⁠said was "stoking anti-Russian sentiment"

• Poland ‌this week said ⁠a fire at a Starlink station was an act of sabotage aimed at ​disrupting internet services ‌for Ukraine's military, but stopped short ⁠of saying Russia ​was responsible
