What is known about NATO's preparations for war with Russia
In the material of the publication, it is emphasized that before this NATO countries were called to prepare for a large-scale war with Russia within the next 20 years.
The new routes will expand existing arrangements that have been in place since last year, when the alliance agreed to have 300,000 troops on high alert during a summit in Vilnius, Lithuania. According to the current plans, the American troops will land in the ports of the Netherlands, and then they will be transported by train through Germany to Poland, the publication says.
What is known about NATO's readiness for an attack by the Russian Federation and Putin's rhetoric
It is noted that the leadership of the Alliance is also ready, if necessary, to change the land corridors if Russia tries to attack the Netherlands or destroy the ports of Northern Europe.
Other plans being developed call for US troops to arrive at Italian ports and travel overland through Slovenia and Croatia to Hungary, which borders Ukraine. Troops could also be sent to ports in Greece or Turkey before crossing Bulgaria and Romania to reach the eastern part of the Alliance. Additional plans include the arrival of troops at ports in the Balkans, Norway, Sweden and Finland, the authors of the material emphasize.
Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin has stepped up rhetoric in recent days, including threats against Western allies, after the US and Germany allowed Ukraine to use its weapons to strike Russian territory, according to the newspaper's journalists.
Putin warned on Wednesday that Russia could provide its allies with long-range weapons to use against Western targets and hinted that Moscow would use nuclear weapons if its country was threatened.
