The Lithuanian intelligence service (VSD) believes that Russia is not yet able to wage a large -scale ordinary war against NATO in the medium term. However, limited hostilities against one or more NATO countries are possible.
Putin allegedly plans to check how seriously NATO countries are actually an obligation to assist in accordance with Article 5 of the NATO Agreement in Emergency Situations.
According to the BND report, although three quarters of Russian soldiers and equipment from the border regions with the Baltic countries are currently in Ukraine, the Air Force and the Navy are in full combat readiness. If the war in Ukraine is over, the Russian units will be thrown back to the region.
Despite the heavy losses and Western sanctions, Putin continues to be armed. According to the Bundeswehr and BND, the military economy of the Russian Federation produces more than necessary for war in Ukraine.
By 2026, the number of Russian Armed Forces should be increased to 1.5 million soldiers. According to the plans for 2022, the number of personnel, weapons and military equipment of the Russian Federation on the border with NATO should be increased by 30-50%.
It is noted that the Kremlin increases military expenses with a dizziness. By 2025, they will be about 120 billion euros, which corresponds to more than 6% of GDP. Thus, Russia has almost four times increased its military budget compared to 2021.
