US EditionGerman general says Russia could launch limited attack on NATO any time
- On November 7, 2025, Lieutenant General Alexander Sollfrank, head of Germany's Joint Operations Command, warned Russia could launch a limited attack on NATO `as early as tomorrow`.

- Despite setbacks in Ukraine, Russia's air force and nuclear and missile forces remain substantial, and while the Black Sea Fleet has weakened, other Russian naval assets stay largely intact.
- NATO deterrence efforts will largely influence whether the Kremlin acts, and under Article 5, an attack on one member would draw the entire alliance including the U.S. into war, with 31 of 32 NATO members meeting the 2% GDP defense spending target this year.
- Western allies say the Kremlin wages hybrid war through airspace incursions, sabotage and cyberattacks, Russia signals possible arms control treaty withdrawal, and drone incidents over Poland raise concerns.
