Admiral Rob Bauer, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, said the alliance was preparing for the scenario of a potential direct clash with Russia.
Admiral Bauer said NATO was aware of the change in the security situation in 2014, after Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula.
`Are we (NATO) ready (for a scenario of confrontation with Russia)? The answer is yes! NATO’s task is to prepare. If this happens today, you have to fight with what you have
Asked about NATO’s readiness on its eastern flank, where the most potential threats exist, he said the Alliance has increased its presence in the Baltic countries since 2016, as well as in Slovakia
`We currently have 8 such combat groups, each group has a battalion and they can combine into brigades if necessary. Relevant countries are cooperating regarding this mechanism. We will consider
He said that modern warfare will have new tactics, new ways of fighting, such as cyber attacks or space attacks.
`It would be unwise to focus only on the eastern flank, because the Russians are not just there. They are everywhere. That’s why NATO is constantly monitoring their actions and reacting.`
He also stated that he is not concerned about the prospect of increased threats from Russia after Vladimir Putin’s re-election as president.
`We can see that Russia is capable of producing large quantities of weapons but their quality has declined since the start of the war. They have plans but they are in a state of war so they will need a lot of time
Mr. Rob Bauer also commented on the possibility of military deployment of any NATO country in Ukraine, emphasizing that such decisions affect the interests of all allies and therefore require consultation
In addition, Mr. Bauer warned all parties not to be too pessimistic about Ukraine’s ability to win the war and called on the world to provide more support for Kiev.
