Russia is currently incapable of carrying out a large-scale offensive against NATO, but it may conduct sabotage operations or provocations for which the Alliance must be prepared. As UATV English<\/a> reports, this was stated by Polish Foreign Minister Rados\u0142aw Sikorski, whose remarks were cited<\/a> by Poland\u2019s Foreign Ministry.<\/p>\n

Sikorski stressed that Russia poses a threat to Poland and that this should be taken seriously.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday Russia is not capable of launching a major offensive against NATO, and if it were preparing for one, we would see it \u2014 we have satellite intelligence. We saw the concentration of one hundred thousand soldiers around Ukraine, which had been building up for months,\u201d the Polish minister noted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

At the same time, he emphasized that Vladimir Putin\u2019s intentions are more serious than Western Europe had expected, and therefore no one should underestimate them.<\/p>\n

\u201cRussia is capable of sabotage actions or provocations that do not reach the level of a real invasion. NATO must also be prepared for such actions,\u201d Sikorski stressed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As previously reported, Carsten Breuer believes that by 2029 Russia will be capable of attacking NATO \u2014 or possibly even earlier.<\/p>\n

Intelligence services in Estonia are convinced that Russia does not intend to launch a military attack on any NATO member state this or next year, but will continue rebuilding its armed forces.<\/p>\n

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has previously stated that Russia continues attempts to draw Belarus deeper into the war, possibly with the aim of carrying out an operation against one of NATO\u2019s member states.<\/p>\n
