Russians no longer believe that the Five NATO article works, and they want to check it, the BND leader said.
Russia considers Ukraine as an intermediate phase on the road to an attack on NATO countries. The head of the German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) Bruno Cal, who left his position, spoke of possible military conflicts between NATO and the Russian Federation, the German tabloid report Bild In the Telegram.
“We are really sure, and we have evidence of intelligence: Ukraine is just one step toward Russia in the west,” he said.
According to him, in the Kremlin there are those who do not believe that the NATO will respond to the case of attacking one of their members.
“They no longer believe that article five works. And they want to check it out. They want to restore NATO by the end of the 1990s. They want to throw America out of Europe and use any necessary way to achieve it,” the BND leader.
Russia may try to organize a provocation in Baltic countries based on “protecting the Russian -speaking population.” That is how, for example, it occurred in 2014, when Russia added Crimea.
Sure Kal is now futile to arrange in Moscow
“Dermination is the least bloody way to prevent war. There are no signs that Putin has changed his opinion about his aggressive approach to solving this problem,” he added.
Remember, NATO countries are in agreement with new purposes for defense costs. We are talking about allocating 3.5% of GDP for basic defense needs and another 1.5% on investments related to safety and defense infrastructure.
