Serviciile secrete americane avertizează că Putin ar putea testa hotărârea NATO cu acțiuni limitate

A new U.S. intelligence assessment warns that Putin may test NATO's resolve with limited actions amid the ongoing Ukraine war. This marks a shift from previous views that Russia would avoid provoking NATO while engaged in Ukraine. Officials now believe Putin could attempt a limited attack on a NATO member in the coming years. Scenarios include major cyberattacks, hybrid operations, or small-scale ground incursions on NATO's eastern flank. The timeframe for these actions is from this fall to 2029, with a direct ground incursion deemed least likely but overall risks heightened. The aim is to fracture the alliance and challenge the credibility of Article 5, with Putin seen as more dangerous when cornered by slow battlefield gains and Ukrainian deep strikes.
