In a letter to Sunak, Wallace praised the military and intelligence he has worked with since 2016, and praised the governmentʼs response to Russiaʼs war in Ukraine.

"The United Kingdom is respected around the world for our Armed Forces, and that respect has only increased since [the start of] the war in Ukraine," he wrote.
