NATO urged to fortify against Russia for decades ahead
Estonian intelligence chief Kaupo Rosin emphasizes that NATO must deter Russia for the next 10 to 20 years to prevent any aggression toward the West.
The head of Estonia's foreign intelligence service, Kaupo Rosin, warns that NATO will need to focus on deterring Russia for the next 10 to 20 years. The aim is to prevent a potential military attack on the West.
Investments in defence crucial for NATO
Rosin emphasises that the West must take defence issues seriously by increasing investments in this area. "NATO and national military plans must be credible, realistic, and true. They must be backed by real resources, including troop presence, additional units, and the requisite amount of ammunition," Rosin stated in an interview with Reuters.
According to Rosin, Russia is not ready to negotiate ending the invasion of Ukraine. He predicts that Moscow will attempt to limit NATO's activities, weaken its infrastructure, and reduce military presence in countries on the eastern flank. "Then we will be able to deter Russia," assessed the head of Estonian intelligence.
