Nicușor Dan warns NATO must prepare for potential Russian attacks
In an interview with CNN, Romanian President Nicușor Dan stated that while a direct Russian military attack on a NATO member state is unlikely within the next one to two years, European allies must remain prepared for such a scenario.
Dan noted that European leaders are now treating the Russian threat with significantly more seriousness than they did prior to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. He highlighted that defense spending has increased and cooperation among European nations has intensified as a result.
The President also addressed the necessity of rebalancing defense contributions between Europe and the United States. He remarked that Donald Trump is correct in his assessment that the economic contribution to European defense has not been proportional, emphasizing that military deterrence remains a vital component in influencing Russian strategic decisions.
