NATO assesses the threat of a Russian attack. According to representatives of the Alliance command, 90% of the Russian ground forces are deployed in Ukraine, so an attack is not being prepared.
Russia will not attack NATO countries now because it has “too many difficulties” due to the conflict in Ukraine. Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Brazhe said this on Tuesday, December 10, in an interview at the Reuters NEXT conference in New York, Reuters wrote.
“You’re asking if I’m afraid that Russia will attack NATO. No, I don’t think Russia will because that would mean more complications than Ukraine,” he said.
Braje noted that Russia is “not doing well,” including the economy. On the front, he said, the Russian Federation is losing more than 2,000 soldiers a day, and there are already 600,000-700,000 total manpower losses “placing a heavy burden” on the Russian economy.
Based on this, Latvia does not see a direct military threat, Brazhe said. At the same time, she emphasized that she takes defense seriously.
French President Emmanuel Macron will arrive in Warsaw on Thursday, December 12, to discuss on the Polish side a peacekeeping mission that should protect Ukraine’s sovereignty if an agreement is signed with Russia.
It was previously reported that the Baltic countries – Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia – will impose sanctions against those who “repress legitimate protests in Georgia.”
