German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has warned that Russia is preparing for a potential attack against NATO by 2029, according to new intelligence assessments. This marks the third time this month that senior German officials have raised concerns about a confrontation with Russia in the next four years. The warning comes as Moscow is seen as creating an option for itself to wage war against NATO. Russia's intentions are believed to be focused on Eastern Europe, where it aims to rearrange the security architecture and control buffer countries. The threat to Germany and the European Union from Russia is considered a reality, with intelligence services issuing urgent warnings about potential aggression. Russia's military capabilities have been weakened by Ukraine's invasion, raising questions about its ability to launch an attack within the next five years.
