MI6 boss in Prague: Ukraine gains more ground in month than Russia had in year

Speaking in Prague, the head of the UK’s MI6 intelligence service, Richard Moore, said Ukraine had liberated more territory in a month than Russia had taken in a year. The spy chief made the comment in a talk before an invited audience at the British Embassy in Prague on Wednesday. He said he had chosen the Czech capital to make a rare public address as the city was a fitting place to discuss Ukraine, adding that Czechia was a close ally of the UK.

Mr. Moore said many Russians were quietly horrified that their country’s armedforces were demolishing Ukrainian cities, driving innocent families from their homes and kidnapping thousands of children.

The UK spy chief also said his agency was now putting most resources into China, reflecting the country’s growing global reach.
