Risk of Major Attack by Russia Relatively Low, Says NATO’s Top Commander
Alexus Grynkewich will be delivering a speech at the Warsaw Security Forum, which brings together senior figures to discuss European and transatlantic security.
TL;DR
- NATO's top military commander assesses the risk of a major Russian attack on the alliance's eastern flank as relatively low.
- The commander did not rule out the possibility of smaller actions by Russia.
- Threat assessment is based on intelligence, adversary intent, and military capabilities.
- The ongoing war in Ukraine is cited as a reason for the reduced risk, as Russia's military is engaged in that conflict.
