‘An attack on a member of the EU and NATO in 2030 or even earlier, is a very real threat » In the meantime warns in an interview, the European Defense Commissioner Andrian button.

Protection from Russia has become a practical necessity: The button is among those who believe that a future attack by Putin in the EU is a very real threat.

The button believes that Ukraine integration into the EU is a key element in building a self -sufficient European security system, regardless of the form it can ultimately take.

As a result, European states are preparing to provide more weapons to the Ukrainian armed forces, reinforcing both Ukraine’s defense industry and their own, and are prepared For dramatic developments.

“Russia has gone to a war economy”

Germany, Denmark and other states intelligence services say that Russia could be ready to attack us (or, as some call it, “test Article 5 of NATO”) Before 2030, Lithuanian citizenship declares a European official.

Some say that could happen even earlier, During the next three years warns. And the reason is that Russia will have the ability to launch an attack because it has gone to a war economy with mass production, and most importantly, its economy will not be able to return to normal.

“This means that if a peace or ceasefire in Ukraine is reached, they will continue to produce and store quantities of weapons that will eventually allow them to start a new aggressive action.” He points out.

As the button explains, of course, peace for Ukraine is very important and we support it as much as we can. But we have to be very realistic that peace in Ukraine does not mean that Russia will stop drawing the its subsequent aggressive actions.

We consider a very realistic scenario a new attack on Ukraine, or perhaps against EU Member States or NATO is clear, questioned.

However, when we presented the proposals for Rearm Europe at the EU Council, the entire Council supported them, even countries known for the veto they have carried out in the support of Ukraine (Hungary) – they also voted in favor of increasing defense spending, he stresses.

‘We have to be ready not only for today’s wars, But also for the wars of tomorrow. Europe must be ready to defend itself » The Commissioner still says.
