By EUobserver
There is a greater risk of an accidental war breaking out between the West and Russia than at any time since the Cold War, Britain's most senior military officer has said, Reuters reports. General Nick Carter, chief of the defence staff, told Times Radio there was a greater risk of tensions in the new era of a "multipolar world", where governments competed for different objectives and different agendas.
