05:42 AM EDT, 09/25/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The British government plans to hold closed-door briefings with chief executives and other representatives from the defense and critical national infrastructure, or CNI, sectors on threats from Russia. Security Minister Dan Jarvis will meet with industry bodies representing CNI providers, while Armed Forces Minister Louise Sandher-Jones will chair a separate briefing with defense groups, according to a Friday release. The briefings will use intelligence assessments to inform industry leaders about potential Russian cyberattacks, sabotage, and disinformation aimed at disrupting operations and undermining public trust.
