Russia could attack a NATO country within months, Danish intelligence warns
A new threat assessment from Denmark adds to a growing chorus of warnings from European security officials and lawmakers about Russia's intentions toward NATO.
Danish intelligence has warned that Russia could be capable of attacking a NATO member country within months, according to CNBC.
The assessment joins a series of similar warnings issued in recent days by top European security officials and lawmakers, who have expressed increasing concern about Moscow's military posture as the war in Ukraine continues.
European governments have been reassessing the pace at which Russia could reconstitute and redirect its military capabilities toward NATO's eastern flank, with several officials pointing to the war's toll on Russian forces as a factor that could shape the timeline of any future threat.
NATO members bordering Russia and its ally Belarus have repeatedly called for increased defense spending and readiness in light of such assessments, though the alliance has not issued a unified public timeline matching Denmark's warning.
Further specifics on the intelligence behind the Danish assessment, including which NATO members might be considered most at risk, were not detailed in the report.
