“We are almost sure – and we have the intelligence that they confirm that Ukraine is only a stage on the way of Russia to the West,” Kal said.
At the same time, he emphasized – this does not mean that Germany is expecting the movement of Russian tank armies to the west.
“But we see that the promise of NATO’s collective defense will be tested for strength,” Kal said.
Without revealing details about reconnaissance sources, Kal noted that Russian officials provide confrontations that do not reach a full -scale war, but can check whether the US will indeed fulfill their mutual assistance obligations in accordance with Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty.
“They do not need to send tank armies for this. It is enough to send” green men “to Estonia to” protect “the allegedly depressed Russian minority,” he said, referring to the Russian occupation of Crimea in 2014.
Kal also noted that his contacts with American colleagues convinced him that they were serious about the Russian threat.
“They perceive it as seriously as we are. And thank God,” he added.
