Russia may attack a member country of the North Atlantic Alliance. Germany urged to prepare.

Defense Minister Boris Pistorius called on the German Armed Forces to be ready. He spoke about this in an interview.

“We hear threats from the Kremlin almost every day”

German experts believe that an armed confrontation between NATO and Russia is possible in 5 to 8 years.

Pistorius does not consider an attack by the aggressor likely right now. However, I am inclined to trust the statements of experts that the war could unfold in the next few years.

We hear threats from the Kremlin almost every day, recently time again to our friends in the Baltic countries. Therefore, we must take into account that one day Russia could even attack a NATO country,” the head of the Ministry of Defense emphasized.

The official also noted that with his statement he wants to “wake up society” and call on the Armed Forces German forces should be prepared for such a scenario.

When Russia might attack European countries

• Note that at the end of 2023, Boris Pistorius noted that Europe should prepare for new military threats.
• German Defense Minister stressed that the Kremlin dictator's threats should be taken seriously. In particular, they concern the Baltic countries, Georgia and Moldova.
• Russia is already increasing its weapons production, which may also indicate its preparation for an attack on other states.
• “This is not just saber rattling. We may face threats at the end of this decade. But by then we will be ready for it,” Pistorius said.
