Russian people. But we do have a disagreement with mr. Putins view of the world, and more particularly, with his ideas about what is acceptable in going about achieving his objectives. I think we should be reading the doctrines. And that leads me to my next question. And that is, how is it that are we underestimating the risk here . The former u. S. Ambassador to moscow said, british diplomacy toward russia and elsewhere has suffered because of a loss of language skills, particularly in the foreign office. Now, we know the opening of the language, thats a good thing, but were not committing or have not committed enough resources to Eastern Europe and russia. Is that your take on things . Do we need to invest now more . I think we are reinvesting in russia and Eastern Europe now. But there is no doubt that this is well trodden ground, over a decade or more the uk lost traction. And my predecessor spent a lot of time and energy rebuilding that engagement with the world, and that is inclu
