 Russia is restoring its military potential and preparing for a possible confrontation with the North Atlantic Alliance, according to Lieutenant General Jürgen Wachim von Sandrat of NATO. Sandrat is the commander of the NATO multinational corps northeast and considers Russia the most likely opponent for NATO. NATO acts as a defensive alliance and does not pose a threat to Russia, but NATO will react in case the threat of Russia leads to an offensive operation a kind of incursion or a violation of our integrity. The general noted, the general stated that currently Russia is largely favourable to its war against Ukraine, but it has already begun and will continue to restore its capabilities separately from the war in Ukraine. He believes that this creates an increased threat to the Baltic Sea region. To believe that we can defend against Russia only with the procurement of drones and air defense is wrong. It is still the combined arms of land, maritime, air, cyber and soft capabilities that will determine the battlefield, said the military. How to improve the security situation, Jürgen Wachim von Sandrat is convinced that time is crucial, so their preparation for defence, their readiness must be faster than Russia's recovery.
