Putin in sight: expert warns of possible attack goals in Europe

Litauen, Land - An alarming scenario emerges: Keir Giles, a leading expert for Russia, urges Moscow's inevitable advance in Europe. In his current book "WHO Will Defend Europe?" he emphasizes that the question should not attack whether but when Russia could attack again. According to Giles, the West is in a critical situation and underestimates the dangers that could emerge from the "sleeping continent" Europe. In an interview with the Belgian daily newspaper "Het Laatste Nieuws", he emphasizes that the recent sabotage files should not only be dismissed as hybrid attacks, but rather represent clear acts of war that indicate an upcoming military offensive. The Baltic States and the strategically important region could be particularly targeted by Lithuania, since the geographical proximity to Belarus offers ideal conditions for aggressive operations, such as reported.

The military preparations Moscow

Giles warns that Russia is able to carry out targeted precision attacks on European capitals from a great distance, emphasizing that these military strategies have already been tested in Ukraine. He argues that Moscow may be planning attacking attacks to demotivate the population of Europe and to weaken their reactions to possible aggression against NATO allies. According to Giles, the Russian government has pushed a militarization of its own population, which means that war victims are accepted as inevitable and promoted war mentality. This could have fatal consequences for the security architecture in Europe, since the European countries are unable to defend themselves against a possible Russian aggression solely.

Giles, who works as a senior consulting Fellow in the Chatham House Russia and Eurasia program, illustrates the need to clearly define and clearly communicate the limits of acceptable behavior towards Russia. His research, which, among other things, also examines the success and failure of western deterrent strategies, indicate that the strategies of the Kremlin have often been made easier in past conflicts by intensive but ultimately ineffective compromise from the West. In the current geopolitical situation, in which the non -compliance with agreements leads to escalation risks, the action of the West should be more determined and less to avoid conflict prevention, such as Chatham House Notes.
