Russia's Defense Minister: Moscow must be ready for war with NATO within 10

Russia must prepare for war with NATO within the next 10 years, the country's Defense Minister said today.

According to foreign media, speaking at a meeting of defense officials this morning, Andrei Belousov said: "[Preparation for war] is indicated by the decisions that were taken at the summit of the North Atlantic Alliance held in July this year."

"This is also reflected in the doctrinal documents of the United States and other NATO countries, writes A2 CNN.

At that summit in July, Ukraine received $43 billion in funding and more air defense systems, new bilateral security agreements, and a pledge that its path to membership is "irreversible."

Tensions have risen between NATO and Russia since countries from the alliance began supporting Ukraine in 2022. Moscow has issued increasingly serious threats since then, including warnings of a possible nuclear response. (A2 Televizion)
