NATO Eastern Flank states have 3 years to prepare for a possible Russia attack, — the head of the National Security Bureau and minister in the Office of the President of Poland, Jacek Siewiera in an interview with Nasz Dziennik, The Times reports.
In a scathing report, the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) stated that the North Atlantic military alliance should be ready to repel a Russian attack within the next six to ten years.
However, Jacek Siewiera noted that analysts probably underestimate the urgency of the situation:
“Unfortunately, this analysis is consistent with studies conducted in the United States. However, in my opinion, the time frames presented by German analysts are too optimistic.
If we want to avoid war, then NATO countries on the eastern flank should adopt a shorter, three-year timeline to prepare for confrontation. This is the time when we have to create a capability on the eastern flank that would be a clear deterrent to aggression.
The arms industry in Russia works three shifts daily and can restore its resources over the next three years".
