The Kremlin wants to check the efficiency of Article 5 NATO - the head of German intelligence

To extend: the terms of the tests of the NATO collective defense provisions depend on the course of the war in Ukraine. The end of the war with Kiev will allow the Russians to direct their energy to where they really want. Russia intends to check the unity of the event, especially in the NATO collective defense. The Deutsche Welle radio stations said Bundesnachtendienst) Bruno Kalun Kalun, DPA writes.

According to the head of the department, Russia considers the possibility of verifying the reliability of Article 5 of the NATO Statute, which states that an attack on one ally should be regarded as an attack on all. "We very much hope that it is not true and that we will not be in a difficult situation when it will be tested. However, we must assume that Russia wants to check us, to test the unity of the event," Kal said.

According to Kal, the terms of testing by Russian collective defense of NATO depend on the course of war in Ukraine. He noted that if the war ends earlier than 2029 or 2030, it will allow Russia to use its technical, material and personnel resources for earlier creation of a threat to Europe. "The end of the war in Ukraine would allow the Russians to direct their energy to where they really want, namely against Europe," said Cal.

Bundesnachrichtendienst President has stated that Russia sees the future world order, reminiscent of the situation in Europe in the late 1990s, when NATO's protective presence will be discharged and the sphere of influence of Russia will be expanded to the West, without American presence in Europe. Recall that Italy Prime Minister George Meloni proposes to extend NATO 5 actions to the territory of Ukraine.
