Now the question is, is the Russia Ukraine war on
the verge of expanding further?
Senior NATO generals warned that the alliance must be ready
for Russian strikes on European targets,
with Germany as a potential focal point.
Lieutenant General General pardon me.
Alexander Solfrank, Natos logistics commander in Germany,
has urged ally nations to cut through bureaucratic red tape
hindering troop movements.
The fear is a potential Russian offensive within the next
three years.
Now, while Russia is currently heavily engaged in Ukraine,
NATO leaders fear that it may redirect its focus to
European territories.
General Seoul, Frank and others from Germany,
the US and the Netherlands fear that in this scenario,
the Russians would launch an attack far beyond the front
lines.
This with the intention of destroying the military and civilian
infrastructure required to continue the war effort.
Other officials have also emphasized the need for NATO to
think about being contested in all domains.
From cyber threats to missile strikes.
The generals have highlighted A rapidly changing threat landscape.
The potential targets range from munitions factories and command centers
to power plants,
bridges and railways. Various other army generals are therefore suggesting
that NATO must balance risks.
It should further invest in extra capacity to have options
for munition,
storage, unit movement and command post setups.
But the headache extends to bureaucratic hurdles this as talks
continue to be ongoing on whether or not to create
military corridors across Europe.
Similar to the Schengen area,
which is the European Union's passport free zone for air
and sea routes this to streamline exchange and transport of
military equipment.
This is why General Saul Frank has called for immediate
action to reduce red tapism.
Apart from this, there are calls for more flexibility in
utilizing equipment across NATO member states.
Meanwhile, according to a German newspaper,
the German armed forces are actually preparing for such an
eventuality.
This includes Russian cyberattacks and sabotage against German targets.
As NATO grapples with these challenges,
leaders stress the importance of united efforts to secure differences
against a rapidly evolving threat landscape.
The next NATO summit is going to be held in
Washington in July.
It could possibly reveal measures to address these bureaucratic concerns.
