Finnish president questions timeline of potential Russian threat to NATO

Finnish President Alexander Stubb has dismissed assessments from German intelligence suggesting Russia could be in a position to attack NATO territory by 2029. Speaking to German media, Stubb asserted there are "neither evidence nor facts" to back a specific timeframe, expressing doubt that Moscow would target the military alliance directly.

While questioning Berlin's projected timeline, Stubb emphasized that NATO allies must remain vigilant and prepare for all contingencies. Meanwhile, intelligence officials across Poland, Finland, and the Baltic region continue to warn of escalating Russian hybrid operations, espionage, and sabotage activities. European security chiefs remain divided over potential Kremlin aggression timelines, prompting regional partners to step up defense cooperation and deterrence measures.
