Bundeswehr boss Breuer: Russia is planning a major attack on the West!

Security in Europe is increasingly being influenced by the threat of Russia. This is the urgent message of General Inspector Carsten Breuer of the Bundeswehr, who sees the risk of a possible attack on NATO territory as serious. Breuer, who has been working in military management positions for a long time and with a horizon of experience that extends until the time of the Cold War, draws alarming conclusions about the current and future risk situation.

In a recent appearance on an ARD talk show, Breuer expressed that Germany should not underestimate the danger from Russia. Despite a general underestimation among the population, the BND, Germany's secret service, has given clear warnings: Russia sees itself in a system conflict with the West and actively drives its military ambitions. The general inspector underlined that the West cannot come to rest after a any armistice in Ukraine, since there is still a risk of a conflict.

Russia's military structure and strategic ambitions

In addition, a comprehensive analysis of the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) and the Bundeswehr shows that Russia not only expands its military capacities, but also actively works towards a large -scale conventional war. The BND report warns that Russia could create the prerequisites for such military actions by the end of the decade. This is supported in particular by increasing military expenditure - estimated at around 120 billion euros in 2025 - and plans to recruit up to 1.5 million new soldiers.

The scientist Carlo Masala from the Bundeswehr University confirms this assessments and emphasizes that Russia is preparing for larger military conflicts. Among other things, this is due to the fact that Russia is currently acting in Ukraine from a position of strength.

endangered regions and future scenarios

A particularly critical region is the Baltic States, where the Lithuanian domestic intelligence service VSD considers a limited military action of Russia against NATO countries as possible. Nevertheless, the current danger of a Russian invasion of the Baltic states is assessed as low; However, experts warn that this assessment could change quickly. Around three quarters of the Russian troops on the border with the Baltic States are currently bound in Ukraine, but the Luftwaffe and Marine of Russia in the Baltic States remain.

Breuer and other military leaders warn to vigilance, especially in relation to the possible testing of the alliance by Russia. These developments make it clear that the threat of Russia is not only limited to Ukraine, but also causes fundamental security policy considerations for NATO and Europe.

Overall, it becomes clear in the latest position evaluations that Russia shows no signs of willingness to compromise in the conflict and is willing to implement imperialist goals militarily. The worrying situation requires rethinking in defense policy to take into account the growing challenge of Russia. NATO and Germany in particular are faced with the significant task of taking this into account and taking appropriate measures.
