Richard Barrons said this at a hearing in the defense committee in the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

Answering the question at what point there will be no choice but to enter into conflict with Russia, the general named the main reason why the alliance seeks to avoid this.

"NATO is not ready [for a conflict]. And we should be ashamed of it," Barrons said.

He also doubted that the UK has the necessary defense systems in the event of a military conflict with Russia.
