The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office declared on September 2 that the activities in Russia of the Monarchy’s Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) for Defense and Security Studies are undesirable in Russia.
“According to the decision of the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office, the activities of the UK non-governmental organization The Royal United Services Institute for Defense and Security Studies are prohibited,” the statement said.
Acting as a British command post, RUSI inserted itself into the British-EU-American-NATO policy-making process. On April 28, 2023, RUSI released a report, “Dangerous Targets: Civilian Nuclear Infrastructure and the War in Ukraine,” which stated should “Russia.. manufacture a radiological incident at the ZNPP [Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant] or another facility to spoil a Ukrainian offensive,” then, any such incident would be followed by “a massive [NATO military] response to mitigate damage.” That is, were an incident to occur at the ZNPP, then NATO could respond with a military attack, that in fact, could escalate to nuclear war. Of course, the West could manufacture such a triggering incident.
The RUSI was constantly pushing for a way to escalate, not solve, the Ukraine crisis as a means to deliver a “strategic defeat” to Russia. It appears that some among Russian leaders are seeking to dismantle the British apparatus’s operations in Russia, as the British are the lead force of the “Coalition of the Willing.”
