On the 7th local time, US Central Intelligence Agency Director Burns and British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) Director Moore attended an event held by the Financial Times. The Financial Times said that this was the first time that the heads of the two US and British agencies had jointly appeared in public in the 77-year history of their intelligence sharing partnership. Burns and Moore talked about what they called "a series of unprecedented threats" to the international order, including the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia's "sabotage activities" across Europe, China's rise, and rapid technological changes. But some Russians believe that the United States is the "master of plundering other countries." According to Reuters, a document released by the Pentagon recently showed that 35 US federal states received a total of $41.7 billion in weapons and ammunition production funds and investments related to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. This means that most of the revenue generated by Washington's arms supply to Kiev went to US military-industrial enterprises. Russia's Viewpoint quoted Chepa, deputy chairman of the Russian State Duma International Affairs Committee, as saying that the United States tried to control the conflict within a framework so that Ukraine and Russia would each exhaust their economic resources. The European Union was also involved. The website of Russia Today TV station published an article on the 7th saying that under the background of "blindly following" the US "proxy war", the political instability in some EU countries has further intensified.

The Financial Times stated that Burns and Moore's joint attendance at the event on the 7th was the latest move by the US and British intelligence agencies to step forward and warn that "the world is facing growing dangers." The most similar occasion was when the director of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation and the head of the UK National Security Agency (MI5) held a press conference in London in 2022.

Burns and Moore said one purpose of their joint appearance was to emphasize the strength of the US-UK relationship. "Intelligence cooperation helps the US and the UK stay ahead in an uncertain world." On the 7th, the two also jointly published a signed article in the Financial Times, claiming that the international order is facing "unprecedented threats since the Cold War" and that "successfully dealing with this risk forms the foundation of our special relationship." Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao said this was the first time the heads of the CIA and MI6 had jointly issued an article.

Burns and Moore wrote that "the CIA and MI6 jointly resisted the aggressive war launched by a strong Russia and Putin against Ukraine" and "continued to work together to prevent the reckless sabotage activities carried out by Russian intelligence agencies across Europe." The Financial Times said that Burns and Moore said at the event on the 7th that the nuclear threat issued by Putin should not be taken lightly, but the West should not be unnecessarily intimidated. Burns called Putin a "bully." When asked whether Iran had delivered short-range ballistic missiles to Russia, Burns said that such a move would mark a "dramatic escalation of the situation." Moore said that if Russia used missiles and drones provided by Iran in Ukraine, it would be "very obvious."

According to the New York Times, anonymous US and European officials revealed that Iran has provided Russia with hundreds of short-range ballistic missiles. The Iranian mission to the United Nations has denied this news and stated that Iran's position on the Russia-Ukraine conflict has not changed, that is, it will not provide military assistance to the parties to the conflict.

Russia's Viewpoint reported on the 8th that Burns mentioned that the United States believes that Russia seems to have a "real risk" of using tactical nuclear weapons in 2022. In the comment section of this report, almost all the comments are critical of the United States. Some netizens called the United States an "empire of lies" and "a master of destroying and plundering other countries." Some netizens also said that "Americans use Russia's use of nuclear weapons to scare other countries and promote the 'Russian threat theory'."

According to the Financial Times, Burns, who was deeply involved in mediating the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza, said at an event on the 7th that Israel and Hamas have reached an agreement on 90% of the content of the hostage release agreement, but the "last 10%" is always the most difficult part. Burns and Moore said in the article that in the Middle East, the agencies they lead "work to promote restraint and de-escalation" through intelligence channels. But also on the 7th, demonstrations broke out again in London, with tens of thousands of people protesting against the British government's position of favoring Israel in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and they demanded that the British government stop supplying weapons to Israel.
