0:45On the war in Ukraine, the MI6 spy chief said Russia had suffered"epic fails" in its initial objectives, which he listed as toppling the Ukrainian government, capturing Kyiv, and sowing division within the NATO alliance.Mr Moore said:"I think they are about to run out of steam.
Offering a quote from the TV series Game Of Thrones, Mr Moore said:"Winter is coming and clearly in that atmosphere, with the pressure on gas supplies, we are in for a tough time." Asked what lessons Beijing might be drawing from the war in Ukraine for whatever ambitions the Chinese government might have for Taiwan, Mr Moore said it was too early to tell.
It made Ukraine's ability to win or at least to negotiate with Russia from a position of"significant stress" essential"because Xi Jinping is watching this like a hawk", he said.He was speaking in a conversation with Jim Sciutto, CNN's national security correspondent, who asked Mr Moore whether war between China and the US and its allies was inevitable.
