Spy chiefs: Russia may test NATO in months

📡 Guardian · 1 min read ·
European intelligence officials warn that Russia could test NATO's defenses sooner than expected. One official said an attack might come in "months, not years." The warning follows a statement by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. He told parliament that intelligence assessments suggest Russia may launch drone or missile strikes on NATO territory in the coming months. Tusk said the goal would be to show that NATO's Article 5 is "more theoretical than practical." Article 5 is the alliance's core promise: an attack on one member is treated as an attack on all. Officials also cautioned that panic could help Russia. Overreaction, they said, risks playing into Kremlin psychological operations.
