LONDON, March 13 — UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Sunday announced a £5 billion investment in defence as part of a review aimed at responding to emerging geopolitical threats from Russia and China.
The investment, part of the 2023 Integrated Review Refresh , will help to replenish ammunition stocks, modernise the UK’s nuclear enterprise and fund the next phase of the AUKUS submarine programme, a statement from the Prime Minister’s office said. “By investing in our armed forces for the long-term, we will be ready for the challenges of today and of the future.”The review was commissioned to respond to emerging geopolitical threats, “from Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine” to China’s “economic coercion” and increased competition between states.
