C. Freudingas stated that preparation for potential conflict is necessary, noting that allied nations have reached a consensus regarding the risk posed by Russia. He confirmed that the assessment suggesting Russia could potentially attack NATO territory by the end of the decade is not solely a German projection.
“2029 is not a German term; it is an assessment agreed upon by NATO intelligence,” Freudingas stated. Regarding diplomatic engagement, he reported that Europe has approved Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s proposal to initiate negotiations with Moscow, adding that the United States must also be involved in such talks. Furthermore, Freudingas emphasized the broad agreement among the alliance members, asserting that all 32 NATO partners concur on the capability assessment concerning Russia.
Specifically, he stated, “All 32 NATO partners agree that Russia could have the capability to invade a NATO partner country in 2029.”
Despite the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Freudingas issued a warning that Russia could potentially take action sooner than the projected timeline. The statements underscore a unified stance within the NATO alliance regarding security risks posed by Russia.
