NATO commander warns Putin against attack during his tenure
NATO's top commander, US Air Force General Alexus Grynkewicz, warned Russia against attacking the alliance during his tenure, stating NATO is prepared to defend its territory. He made the remarks while responding to concerns about potential Russian aggression. The alliance is increasing intelligence sharing in response to a wave of sabotage incidents linked to Russia, including a drone attack in Germany and a flare incident involving a Danish helicopter. Grynkewicz acknowledged a "small but growing risk" of a limited Russian attack but urged calm, citing NATO's strength. The comments follow a Danish intelligence warning about intensified hybrid warfare. Grynkewicz also addressed NATO restructuring, with Europeans taking on greater command roles, while the US continues providing critical capabilities. He dismissed speculation that US weapons depletion could invite attack.
