According to the German daily Bild , Russia has a secret plan to attack NATO's eastern flank, after a successful counter-offensive in Ukraine and the retreat of the Ukrainian army by June.
Bild claims to have obtained a secret document compiled on the matter by the German armed forces. The document claims that from July, Moscow could launch a series of cyber attacks and other forms of hybrid warfare against the Baltic states.
It will be followed, as stated there, by some clashes which are not clearly specified, which Russia can use as a pretext to start large-scale mass training in its territory but also in Belarus, the military document claims.
Almost two years since the start of the war in Ukraine, both the new French foreign minister and his German counterpart declared today that they will continue to support Ukraine for as long as necessary. "We completely agree on the fact that we must support the Ukrainians for as long as they will need," declared the head of French diplomacy Stephane Sejourne in a joint press conference with Annalena Baerbock.
"Supporting Ukraine for as long as it needs means that we have to organize coordinated initiatives at the European level, and in my opinion, this includes the protection of our values and interests," said Stephane Sejourne.
Sejourne assured Kiev during a surprise visit there on Saturday that Ukraine can count on support from France even after changes in the government cabinet. Even during the time he was in the Ukrainian capital, Russia did not stop bombing Ukrainian regions.
"Riots with many deaths"
But as in 2021, Russia is abusing its supposed maneuvers in Belarus for a massive build-up of troops - on the border with Poland and Lithuania.
Here's how things could escalate, according to the secret Bundeswehr letter: In October, Russia moved troops and medium-range missiles into Kaliningrad and continued arming its enclave with the propaganda lie of an imminent NATO attack. The Kremlin's secret goal: conquering the Suwalki gap - the narrow Polish-Lithuanian corridor between Belarus and Kaliningrad.
According to the scenario, by December 2024 there would be an artificially induced "border conflict" and "unrest with multiple deaths" in the Suwalki Gap area.
Just as the US may be more or less leaderless for weeks after the possible election of Joe Biden, Russia is repeating its 2014 invasion of eastern Ukraine on NATO soil in a Bundeswehr training scenario. are the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Germany.)
How the new escalation would end
The scenario ends in 30 days if Russia is prevented from deploying NATO.
BILD asked the Federal Ministry of Defense how likely they think the escalation is.
After all, just a few weeks ago Minister Boris Pistorius spoke of the five to eight years Germany had to prepare for a possible war with Russia.
A spokesman did not want to comment on the alliance's defense scenario, but explained: "Basically, I can tell you that considering different scenarios, even if they are extremely unlikely, is part of the daily business of the military, especially in training ”./ Adapted from BILD
