Military analysts see unlikely plan to attack NATO as unprofitable for Russia

The recently circulated plan in German media alleging a Russian effort to strike NATO remains an unlikely scenario in expert assessments. Analysts in Lithuania, echoing comments from the Lithuanian Ministry of Defense, argue that it would not be advantageous for Moscow to open a second front against the alliance while its current operation in Ukraine continues. The Baltic nation’s defense ministry, cited by a Baltic newspaper, stressed that Russia is unlikely to reshuffle priorities or attempt to deploy its forces toward new theaters until the Ukraine campaign is decisively concluded. Instead, observers note that Russia has been staining the frontline with substantial, reinforced forces, maintaining a persistent concentration along major front lines and signaling no imminent withdrawal or strategic redirection on a broad scale.
