A report by the Munich Security Conference warns that Russia may be preparing for a potential confrontation with European countries. Moscow has allocated nearly 8% of its GDP\u2014about 40% of the federal budget\u2014to military spending, while persistent nuclear threats underscore the risk that the war could extend beyond Ukraine\u2019s borders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In particular, Russia could rebuild its forces for a \u201cregional war\u201d in the Baltic region within two years of a possible ceasefire in Ukraine\u2014and for a local war against one of its neighbors\u2014within six months.<\/p>\n

It is also noted that a ceasefire in Ukraine could only increase the risk of an attack on NATO countries, since it is Ukraine that is currently holding back Russian forces.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the US distanced itself from European security affairs.<\/p>\n

Already at such a serious venue as the Munich Security Conference, it is being acknowledged what your humble servant wrote about a year ago: Russia is preparing an attack on Europe.<\/p>\n\t\t
