NATO Secretary General Rutte said today that Europe must be prepared for 'the scale of war our grandparents and great-grandparents endured' as the alliance is Putin's 'next target'

The Kremlin said on Tuesday that European claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to restore the Soviet Union were wrong and that claims Putin plans to invade a NATO member were complete stupidity.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko shared an update Tuesday on his plans to deploy nuclear weapons in coordination with Russia throughout his country. The close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin said that "the question of returning nuclear weapons to us was raised."

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warned Thursday that members of the alliance could be “Russia’s next target,” calling for a rapid rise in defense spending to prevent a war similar to those seen by past generations.

Nato’s secretary general Mark Rutte said Europe is already Russia’s next target and ‘we are already in harm’s way’

Europe 'must prepare for scale of war our grandparents endured', according to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. He feared the alliance was Vladimir Putin's 'next target' and said Russia could launch an attack within five years. Rutte said Europe was 'already in the danger zone', and said 'the time for action is now' as he spoke in Berlin.
