Vladimir Putin is standing with his finger on the trigger.

The secret services of many European countries and in particular those of the Scandinavian countries warn that his weapon is positioned in the direction of NATO countries.

Sweden and Norway have called on their citizens to prepare for war with Russia, while Social Democrat German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said yesterday that " Moscow could start a war against the West in five or eight years ".

Meanwhile, in the last few hours, the Danish intelligence services have warned that a Russian military attack against NATO countries is "highly possible". Even the Polish government also admits that the country is preparing for war with the Moscow regime.

The Minister of Defense and Deputy Prime Minister of Poland, Wladysław Kośniak Kamlisz, was asked yesterday in an interview published in the daily "Super Express" whether he considers Russia's military defeat by Ukraine and a direct attack on Poland possible.

" I anticipate every scenario and take the worst seriously. This is the job of a Minister of Defense in the situation we are in today ", he emphasized and admitted that his country is preparing for war with Russia. " Major weapons purchases are very important, but every soldier's personal equipment should be taken just as seriously. Poland will play a very important role in the common defense of the European Union, the Commission also knows this ," underlined the Polish Minister of Defense.

However, today's Danish warning differs significantly from that of other countries (including Sweden and Germany). Danish intelligence services clarify exactly what Putin is planning, what he will watch out for and what Russian operations he is preparing to launch against the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance.

" Danish military intelligence warns that Moscow will most likely use its military power to challenge NATO states ," Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen told the country's parliament.

While the intelligence services of the Scandinavian country in their report regarding a possible attack from Moscow write: " Russia will put pressure on NATO countries by routinely sending aircraft and warships to breach national borders. Putin may even concentrate his army along the borders of a NATO country" .

However, Moscow will be careful not to lead to the collapse of the NATO alliance and therefore provoke a direct war by upsetting the balance on the borders of the country where it will deploy its troops.

The government in Copenhagen and Denmark's secret services estimate that Russia's main goal is " to use its own military power to question NATO countries, without provoking the activation of Article 5 of the Constitution ".

" Russia is still dangerous. Its willingness to take risks has increased since Finland and Sweden joined the Alliance. It also wants to increase the presence of its armed forces in the Baltic Sea region and the northwest, even if it is not yet in a position to do so in the short term ," the report noted.

Russia will impose military provocations on NATO but will not openly declare war on a NATO country.

" Attempts to seize territory are unlikely to happen, but could be operations that paralyze NATO's decision-making processes, endangering cohesion and weakening the will of the alliance ," said Russian expert Fleming Splindsboel, a senior researcher at the Danish Institute of International Studies.

But the head of the Danish army, General Fleming Ledfer, hastened to warn that " Russia is today stronger than expected, despite two years of war in Ukraine ".

" Putin is turning his country completely into a war economy, and he's come a long way to do that. The country is already developing military power and military reserves at a rapid pace ," said Ledfer.
