According to him, NATO's attack on NATO is unlikely, but Pistorius is inclined to trust the statements of German experts that the war may probably unfold in the next five to eight years. "We hear threats from the Kremlin almost daily, recently again to our friends in the Baltic countries. Therefore, we must keep in mind that one day Russia can attack even the country of NATO," the official said.
In addition, Pistorius expressed his opinion on the calls of the Minister of Internal Affairs of Sweden to prepare for the war "now", noting that from a geographical point of view, the Swedes were in an even more intense situation. "But we also need to learn to live with danger and prepare for it again - in military, social plan and in terms of civil defense," the German Defense Minister said.
Pistorius also noted that Germany is the second largest supporter of military assistance to Ukraine after the United States. The official emphasized that if President Vladimir Putin wins war and occupies Ukraine, NATO will also increase the danger to NATO. We will remind, on January 18, the head of the NATO Military Committee Rob Bauer and the Supreme Commander -in -Chief of Allied troops in Europe Christopher Cavoli declared the Alliance's readiness for a possible attack of Russia.
