Finland's president dismisses warnings of Russian attack on NATO by 2029

Finnish President Alexander Stubb has dismissed German warnings that Russia could be capable of attacking NATO territory by 2029, stating he sees "neither evidence nor facts" to support such timelines. Speaking to German media, Stubb doubted Moscow would attack the alliance, though he stressed that NATO must maintain constant readiness to ensure effective deterrence.

Meanwhile, defense analysts highlight growing security risks in the Baltic region. Polish analyst Col. Maciej Korowaj warned that Russian forces are actively mapping NATO defensive responses in the Baltic Sea to refine potential operational plans, anticipating a higher risk of provocations beginning in September. Amid escalating hybrid activities, Baltic and Nordic states are strengthening regional defense cooperation.
