“The leader of German intelligence BND Bruno Calus is likely that Russia will try to check the effectiveness of Article 5 of the North Atlantic NATO Collective Security Treaty and suggested that in the event of hostilities in Ukraine in the near future, this risk will become greater.”, – WRITE: www.pravda.com.ua

“We very much hope that it will not happen … But we must assume that Russia will want to test us, to check the unity of the event,” – said the head of the intelligence service.
In his opinion, the time and probability of such a “verification” are directly related to how events in the Russian-Ukrainian war will further develop.
If the war ended earlier than 2029-2030, Kali said, then Russia will be able to become a threat to Europe faster.
Direct language: “It is also possible that the cortical threat or attempted blackmail by Russia against European states will happen before they were predicted … Earlier than the end of the war in Ukraine would allow Russians to reprimand energy to where they want most against Europe.”
