ai generated text

The heads of the UK and US foreign intelligence services, Sir Richard Moore and William Burns, have jointly warned that the international world order is under threat, similar to the Cold War era. They emphasized the importance of the two countries' intelligence partnership in resisting an assertive Russia and its war of aggression in Ukraine. Additionally, they called for a cease-fire in Gaza, stating that they have used their intelligence channels to push for restraint and de-escalation. Burns also mentioned that he hopes to present a more detailed hostage and ceasefire proposal to Israel and Hamas negotiators in the coming days.

1. Beyond Ukraine, we continue to work together to disrupt the reckless campaign of sabotage across Europe being waged by Russian intelligence, and its cynical use of technology to spread lies and disinformation designed to drive wedges between us.
2. You can see it, of course, sadly, on the battlefield in Ukraine. You can see North Korea, North Korean weaponry. You can see Iranian drones. You can see the sort of help that the Chinese have provided through sort of dual-use type material. You see all of that playing out in our world.
3. Don't ever confuse a tight grip with a stable grip.
4. He has a very tight control over his political system, and he has an ambitious agenda at home and also overseas. And that is why we devote so much effort into understanding China, because it's such a hugely important actor on the international stage.
5. There is no question that the international world order – the balanced system that has led to relative peace and stability and delivered rising living standards, opportunities and prosperity – is under threat in a way we haven't seen since the Cold War.

1. I think that good intelligence enabled our leaders, our political leaderships, to mobilize a very strong coalition to counter Putin's aggression.
2. He does one thing really well, and that's repress people at home.
3. We continue to work together to disrupt the reckless campaign of sabotage across Europe being waged by Russian intelligence.
4. We saw it coming, and were able to warn the international community so we could all rally to Ukraine's defense.
5. Going back to the fall of 2021, the two of us together, our services together, were able to provide credible, early, accurate warning of the invasion that was coming, which was not a small thing at the time, because almost all of the other services around the world, our intelligence counterparts, thought this was a bluff on Putin's part.
