北約單位警戒俄羅斯的目標看著比歐盟面對中國分化要來得清醒, 但操作上有些緩不濟急的慢效率：
"建立共同對應外來混合戰威脅能力，已經成為歐盟與北約之間合作的主要領域之一。在這方面北約已制定了對歐洲國家抵抗外部影響的統一標準，透過北約和歐盟的共同雙邊合作努力，對抗俄國或其他國家的資訊戰攻擊。
2017年幾個北約盟國和歐盟成員國在赫爾辛基舉行會議，正式同意在芬蘭首都建立一個應對混合威脅的歐洲卓越中心。當時共有九個國家簽署備忘錄，分別為：芬蘭、法國、德國、拉脫維亞、立陶宛、波蘭、瑞典、英國和美國。"
德國和波蘭的戰機互通領空協議擺明是北約在防北極熊~
"Announced on 12 May, the agreement signed in Warsaw between the German and Polish defence ministries will allow Luftwaffe Eurofighters to cross into Poland and Polish air force (Inspektorat Sił Powietrznych: ISP) Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon and MiG-29 ‘Fulcrum’ fighters to cross into Germany."

烏克蘭如果真被俄羅斯吃下來，波羅的海三國跟波蘭成為下一道前線，北約能否接受這種勢必要增員與整備的退守結果是很令人懷疑的:
"Moscow has also demanded that NATO curb military exercises in Ukraine and other former Soviet nations, and that the alliance pull its forces back from its eastern member states. NATO deployed about 5,000 troops to Poland and the Baltic countries after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014."
俄烏戰爭番外篇的飛彈掉波蘭所引發的後續北約效應:
"At Poland’s insistence, Nato will have to deliberate seriously on whether the events of 15 November require active preparations for a decisive military response. A viable missile shield on Nato’s eastern flank will become an absolute priority. The German chancellor Olaf Scholz’s recently proposed shield for more than a dozen European countries is just the beginning. Current events should accelerate an early compromise on the issue. Rather than more sanctions, frontline states will demand that more Nato troops and defence systems are put in place."
