Putin's secret military plans: NATO on alert!

Moskau, Russland - Russia seems to be preparing for a military confrontation, especially with regard to NATO. Experts warn of a possible escalation of the tensions, while the "Institute for the Study of War" (ISW) analyzes that Russia intends to withdraw from international arms control contracts. This could include the end of a one -sided moratorium to station land -based medium -range missiles, as Russia itself indicates. At an official statement by Sergei Rjabkow, the Vice Foreign Minister, reference is made, where he expresses the intention of stationing Russia to station such weapons after the legal foundations of the 2019 Inf-Treaty, which affected the SSC-8 rocket, was counteracted.

These developments indicate a worrying trend. According to [OE24], the Ukraine War could serve as an excuse to break away from other disarmament agreements and prepare for a broader military confrontation with the West. At the same time, Germany's general inspector Carsten Breuer warns that Russia produces hundreds of tanks every year that are intended not only for the Ukraine war, but also for new military structures on the NATO border, especially in the Baltic States.

armor control and clarification of military tensions

Compliance with international armaments agreements is increasingly being questioned. Russia has terminated the binational SVC (special negotiation commission) of the Inf-Treaty, which was multi-year ago after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and had members such as Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine. There is also controversy about compliance with the INF contract by the United States, which may illustrate the complexity in recording new technologies.

The military tensions were reinforced by the annexation of the Crimea in 2014, which impaired military trust formation in Europe. The KSE contract for the disarmament of conventional weapons in Europe was suspended by Russia in 2007, which made the goals of military transparency difficult. At the same time, the Viennese document, which serves as a confidence -building measure, has been in the reform blockade since 2011.

global military alliances and their consequences

Another aspect that complicates the situation is the growing military cooperation between Russia and China. This could develop from a formal to a real alliance that could endanger the stability in the region. In view of the eroding basis of trust, security experts like Fiona Hill fear that states and Great Britain are already in a factual war with Russia, especially through cyber attacks and sabotage files.

The United States stationed new long-range missiles in submarines in February 2020, which triggered concern in the international community. According to the NATO summit communiqués, the role of nuclear weapons in the Russian military doctrine is becoming increasingly relevant. Processes of armaments control and military trust formation in Europe are faced with a major upheaval that could have far -reaching global effects. The success of this armaments upgrade depends heavily on the improvement of political relationships between NATO and Russia, while an early exit is threatened with other contracts such as the OH contract.
