Finnish President Alexander Stubb has rejected German warnings of a potential Russian attack on NATO by 2029, citing a lack of evidence while urging continued vigilance.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb has dismissed warnings from German officials claiming Russia could attack NATO by 2029, stating there are "neither evidence nor facts" to back such predictions. In an interview with Bild, Stubb remarked that he cannot imagine Moscow targeting the world's most powerful military alliance, though he cautioned member states against complacency and stressed the need for continuous preparedness.

Meanwhile, European intelligence officials and eastern flank nations remain on high alert over expanding Russian hybrid operations, espionage, and sabotage across the continent. To counter these non-conventional threats, regional allies, including Poland, Finland, the Baltic states, and Sweden, are deepening military collaboration and enhancing collective deterrence measures.
