According to Christoph Heusgen, Chairman of the Munich Security Conference, there is a real risk that Russia will attack NATO countries. The Baltic states, as well as Moldova, may become Putin's new victims.
Russia may launch an invasion of NATO
Journalists asked the politician whether he believed that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin could order such an attack.
Christoph Heusgen considers such a scenario quite real.
Of course. After all, Putin has repeatedly said that the collapse of the Soviet Union was the greatest disaster of the 20th century because it left many Russians outside Russia... Putin sought to re-establish a Greater Russia within the borders of the defunct Soviet Union, a global empire that he would rule as a tsar .

According to the politician, the new victims of the head of the Kremlin could be Moldova or the Baltic states.
How the West should help Ukraine
According to Christoph Heusgen, the key task of the international community is to do everything possible so that this does not happen and Ukraine defeats Russia and wins the war.
But we must do everything to ensure that Ukraine receives the weapons and military aid it needs to successfully confront the Russian aggressors and expel them from its territory, - emphasized the head of the Munich Conference.
By the way, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius recently said that NATO should prepare for a Russian attack on a NATO country within 5-8 years.
Moreover, the Commander-in-Chief of the Swedish Armed Forces, Mikael Büden, and the Minister of Civil Defense, Carl-Oscar Bolin, also warned that all citizens of the country should be ready for war.
