Danish Intelligence: Russian Invasion of NATO Country 'Highly Unlikely' but Not Ruled Out
Denmark's Defence Intelligence Service says it sees no signs of an imminent Russian invasion of a NATO member but warns of a growing risk of limited attacks.
Denmark's Defence Intelligence Service has assessed that a Russian invasion of a NATO member country is "highly unlikely" but cannot be entirely ruled out, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
The agency said it currently sees no indications of an impending large-scale invasion. However, it warned of a growing risk of more limited attacks, reflecting heightened concern among NATO members about Russia's military posture near alliance borders.
Rising vigilance across NATO
The assessment comes amid continued NATO vigilance over Russian military activity, particularly in the Baltic and Nordic regions, following years of heightened tension linked to the war in Ukraine. Intelligence services across the alliance have periodically issued similar warnings about the risk of hybrid or limited provocations short of full-scale invasion.
The Danish report did not specify which NATO country or countries were assessed as being at greatest risk, nor did it provide a timeline for the elevated threat level it described.
