European intelligence chiefs warn Russia could test NATO within months

European intelligence officials are warning that Russia could test NATO within months through limited incursions, drone attacks, or other provocations, according to reports published Sunday. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and French President Emmanuel Macron have both acknowledged these concerns, with one European intelligence chief stating an attack could come within “months, not years.” However, other officials, including Latvia’s Normunds Mežviets, caution against public panic, noting no evidence of an imminent attack, though Moscow is preparing for “more decisive” action in Europe. Officials also anticipate an intensification of Russia’s sabotage and covert operations in Europe, citing incidents like an explosives-laden drone at Leipzig/Halle Airport. These operations aim to weaken support for Ukraine, create NATO divisions, and spread fear.
