Germany flags potential Russian threat to NATO by 2029
“Our intelligence services are telling us urgently that Russia is at least creating the option of a war against NATO by 2029 at the latest,” Wadephul said at the Berlin Foreign Policy Forum.
He argued that Russia’s “imperial” ambitions go far beyond Ukraine, pointing to Moscow’s significant expansion of military capabilities and accelerated weapons production in recent years.
"Russia has largely geared its economy and society toward war. At the same time, Russia is recruiting more soldiers than it currently needs," Wadephul said, noting that nearly one additional military division is being recruited each month.
"These divisions, without a doubt, have their sights set on us—on the European Union, on NATO. The threat to our country from Russia is no longer a distant concern; it is already a reality,” he added.
Wadephul also accused Moscow of employing “hybrid war” tactics against NATO allies, including airspace violations, sabotage, and disinformation campaigns aimed at destabilizing these countries.
