Russia could be ready to strike NATO in two years, new report says
- A leading global security think tank has warned that Russia might be capable of launching a direct military challenge against NATO as early as 2027, potentially within two years following a ceasefire.
- This assessment follows concerns that a ceasefire in Ukraine would let Russia rebuild its military strength and exploit a potential US withdrawal from NATO commitments.
- Satellite images show Russia assembling forces and building bases close to Finland's border, while NATO has conducted exercises like Operation Dynamic Front and seeks increased defense spending.
- The report warns Europe must fill a gap left by possible US troop withdrawals, requiring 128,000 troops and €752 billion in investment, while NATO members must raise defense to Cold War levels.
- If Russia manages to restore its military strength to prewar levels, it may present a serious threat to NATO forces, particularly in the Baltic region, heightening the security concerns for EU countries and urging them to enhance their defense measures.
