In the wake of his announcement to boost Ukraine with new air defense systems, he is intensifying the preparations for the rapid transfer of Patriot arrays to the front. As confirmed by the Supreme Military Commander of the Alliance in Europe, General Alexis Grinkevic, procedures are working closely with Germany.
“I have a command to move as quickly as possible – and we do this,” he said in a press conference in Wiesbaden, Germany, noting that alternatives and business needs are being examined in consultation with NATO’s political leadership.
Russia “remains threat” even with peace
General Greenkevic has shut down the alarm for Russia’s role in the European field of security, stressing that even in the event of a peaceful solution for the war in Ukraine, the threat will not be eliminated. “Russia has skills that can be reconstituted quickly. Their existence in itself is a strategic challenge for the alliance, “he said, adding that” Moscow will remain a constant threat to the freedoms we consider valuable. “
The Kremlin, for its part, reacted strongly. As spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, Russian authorities are constantly monitoring the issue of Western military aid to Kiev. “The supply of weapons is business and some in Europe will pay the price,” he warned.
US – Germany discuss Patriot account
Trump has said that new Patriot systems will be paid by her in an effort to calm down the discontent of Republican voters who are opposed to funding from foreign wars. According to a report by Reuters, German Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius is going to Washington for talks with his US counterpart Pete Hegschez on the possibility of Berlin’s participation in the cost of Patriot.
At the same time, a meeting of NATO member states with Patriot systems is being launched to examine ways to strengthen Ukrainian air defense and funding the necessary arrays.
War fronts and warning about Taiwan
In the midst of these developments, General Greenkevic highlighted the increasing likelihood of simultaneous geopolitical crises, warning of a two -way danger: war in Europe and crisis in the Pacific. “President Si can call Putin’s friend before moving to Taiwan,” he said characteristically, estimating that the window for a possible escalation from China may open by 2027.
Continuous attacks and Russian retaliation
At the same time, battles in Ukraine continue unabated. According to Russian authorities, 122 Ukrainian drones were overthrown over the night, including Moscow, Belgorod, Kursk and Bryansk. At least one citizen was injured by the attacks.
War continues, balances change
As the conflict enters a new phase, NATO reinforces its military choices, the West barks the “account” and concerns about a global systemic war are intensifying. The deterrence bet seems more complex than ever.
