Russia ‘mobilising for war’ – shock warning

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service said the West’s economic embargo of Russia is failing to stop Putin’s masterplan for a "Greater Russia”.

Canada is considering sending troops to join a NATO "super army” being assembled to protect Eastern Europe from invasion.

The report said Russia was upgrading its "conventional military” – meaning its army, navy and air force, as opposed to its spy network, cyber warfare capabilities and nuclear deterrent.

It said: "[Russia] is modernising conventional military capability on a large scale.

"The state is mobilising for war."However, the country is also creating five new "nuclear missile regiments" and doubling rocket tests.

NATO is scrambling to counter the threat after a defence think tank warned Russia could overrun Eastern Europe in just 60 hours if war breaks out.

Russian warplanes have been testing UK defences by invading British spies.

And a Russian submarine was intercepted in the English Channel last week.
