These could include drone attacks, limited operations at sea, or in the Arctic.
The portal LA.lv, citing Politico, reports that Russia may be ready for war with the West in two to three years.
European politicians are increasingly warning of a sharp increase in the risk of armed conflict with Russia in the coming one to two years, writes Politico. The publication reports that the European Union believes the Kremlin views this period as a "window of opportunity" for launching new aggression. Moscow considers such a scenario possible at a time when ties among Western allies are weakening and Europe is still insufficiently prepared for self-defense without U.S. assistance.
According to Politico, Russia is unlikely to launch a direct invasion of any NATO country. However, hybrid operations are not ruled out — one of the favorite tactics of the Putin regime. These could include drone attacks, limited operations at sea, or in the Arctic.
The aim of such actions would be to create uncertainty, panic, and test the alliance's reaction, including the question of invoking Article 5 of the NATO treaty.
At the same time, some European leaders do not consider the threats to be critical, given Russia's significant losses in the war with Ukraine. However, the EU emphasizes the need to remain vigilant and strengthen defense capabilities under any possible scenarios.
