Aaron Newble, political-military adviser to the British delegation, made a statement at the Security Cooperation Forum (OSCE) in which he criticized Russia's conduct of the war against Ukraine. According to him, Moscow is directing a growing portion of its state budget to military needs, yet the results achieved remain limited. Newble noted a mismatch between the scale of expenditures and Russia's actual military successes amid the ongoing conflict. The British representative also pointed to a contradiction between Russia's actions and its obligations under the OSCE Code of Conduct, which concerns military and political aspects of security. This document commits participating states to the peaceful settlement of disputes and the restriction of the use of force. In the view of the British side, the ongoing aggression against Ukraine calls into question Russia's commitment to these principles. The statement was made during regular OSCE discussions, where participating countries exchange assessments of the security situation. Britain, along with other Western countries, consistently criticizes the Russian military campaign and supports Ukraine diplomatically and materially. Such statements at international platforms are intended to pressure Russia and highlight the growing costs of the conflict for the Russian economy and society.
