SSEESing the Russia report

The UK Parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee’s report on Russia was released on Tuesday 21 July 2020.

Its release adds to a string of other high-profile Russia stories in recent UK news, including allegations from UK, US, and Canadian security services that Russian state-backed hackers have been targeting organisations trying to develop a vaccine for coronavirus, as well as a claim by Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab that Russian actors sought to interfere in the 2019 general election in the UK.

What – if anything – have we learned from the ISC report? Has the threat to UK national interests from the Russian state been underplayed – or under-investigated? Or might Russian state actors’ capacity and willingness to interfere in UK affairs be exaggerated?

Join us on Monday 27 July at 18:00 (London time) for a SSEESing NOW panel discussion of these and other questions.
