Russia Could Send "Little Green Men" to Test NATO's Resolve, German Intelligence Boss Warns

  • Bruno Kahl, head of German intelligence, warned on March 8, 2025, that Russia might test NATO’s resolve using hybrid tactics in Europe.
  • Kahl explained that Russia seeks to restore a power balance similar to before 1989 and benefits from the U.S. Reducing support for Ukraine.
  • He described how Russia could deploy “little green men” like in Crimea 2014 to provoke conflicts in Baltic states without large-scale invasions.
  • Kahl remarked that instead of deploying large tank forces, sending small groups of unmarked soldiers, often referred to as "little green men," to Estonia is sufficient to engage in hybrid confrontations.
  • This assessment implies Europe must prepare for challenges to NATO’s Article 5 as Russia may redirect military efforts toward Europe sooner than expected.
