Russian President Vladimir Putin may test NATO's resolve with an attack on a member state of the alliance, according to a report by i24NEWS. The report offers no further details on timing or the specific member state threatened.
A new report from i24NEWS states that Russian President Vladimir Putin may test the resolve of NATO by launching an attack on a member state of the alliance. The report offers no further details on potential timing, target, or the nature of the attack.
The report follows a revised US intelligence assessment published earlier today, as previously reported by The Zioneer. That assessment concluded that Putin is likely to test NATO with a limited attack in the coming years, a shift from earlier assessments that the Russian leader would not attempt such a move while the war in Ukraine continues.
Other recent assessments include a warning from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in July that Putin could target a NATO member by 2027, and a Polish media report in early July about US warnings to Warsaw of a potential armed attack on Polish soil. The reports remain unconfirmed, and no specific timeline or target has been identified.
