Intelligence notes that the Russian Federation is currently undergoing a comprehensive build-up of military power, which also includes the deployment of new units in the Baltic Sea region and in the north-west of the country.
Russia likely intends to “use its military power to challenge NATO“.
This was announced by Danish intelligence, reports the Telegram channel Bild_Russian.
In response to a request from a member of parliament, a response from Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen was published, in which he refers to intelligence data.
According to the department, on the one hand, it is currently unlikely that Russia will want to provoke a military conflict with NATO, so intelligence does not see a military threat to the territories of the Danish Kingdom. On the other hand, according to department experts, “it is very likely that Russia intends to use its military power to challenge NATO countries,” but below the “threshold of Article 5,” that is, a situation in which the Alliance would have to respond militarily.
“Russia can, in particular, use its military potential to put pressure on individual countries through actions that violate previously reached agreements and international national rules, but which are below the threshold of war,” the Danish Minister of Defense assesses military intelligence.
Such actions include, for example, violation of national territorial boundaries by military aircraft or ships, and the use of sonar. However, the agency assessed that actions could also include large-scale troop build-ups along national borders or exercises that limit Western military activity in international waters.
Intelligence notes that Russia is currently undergoing a “comprehensive military buildup,” which also includes the deployment of new units in the Baltic Sea region and in the north-west of the country.
Recall that earlier the Minister of National Defense of Poland, Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysh, said that because of the war in Ukraine and not only the situation in the world is now tense. It is possible that if Ukraine is defeated, Russia will attack NATO, in particular Poland.
