Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda believes a conventional Russian attack on NATO is unlikely now, but hybrid threats will persist. He emphasizes that Russia is focused on Ukraine and not ready for large-scale military operations. Nauseda warns that Putin is testing NATO's resolve through hybrid attacks, including drone incursions and cyberattacks. He sees no signs of serious negotiations from Moscow regarding the Ukraine conflict before spring 2024, predicting continued pressure on Ukraine during winter. Nauseda expresses skepticism about Russia's willingness to negotiate, suggesting serious discussions may only occur in 2027 if Ukraine endures the winter.
