Poland’s Premier Tusk penetrates the faster defense ability in Europe. His country will be willing to defend them in 2027. Military expert Neitzel considers the next three years crucial.

According to the Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Europe and Poland should be prepared for a possible great conflict with Russia in 2027. His government will use the next two years to stabilize the situation in Poland and to ensure security. This was announced by Tusk at a citizens’ meeting in the city of Pabianice at Lodz, as the news agency Pap reported.

The head of government referred to a similar assessment by the new NATO commander-in-chief Alexus Grynkewich, with whom he had spoken to shortly before. According to this, Russia and China could strengthen so far by 2027 that they are coordinated with a confrontation with NATO and the USA.

In view of Russia’s war against Ukraine, various assessments are circulating among western military experts, when aggression could also be directed against other countries in Europe. In 2027, the shortest mentioned deadline has so far. Federal Defense Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD) assumes from 2029. The EU countries upgrade and want to be able to ward off a Russian attack by 2030.

Russia is also expanding its armed forces. However, the Moscow leadership calls nonsense that NATO territory should be attacked. The Russian newspaper “Komsomolskaja Prawda” recently turned the representation and subordinate NATO to want to attack Russia in 2027.

But in Neitzels, Russia’s war economy reaches its limits. The country “cannot keep this up -to -date up -to -date,” said the historian. His forecast with a view to the goal of the allies states at the NATO summit in June in the Hague in the future of investing five percent of their annual economic power in defense services in the future: “So at the moment Russia has a lead, but only until NATO has caught up.”

Suwalki gap calls military experts the small land bridge of a few dozen kilometers that Belarus separates from the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad and leads across the EU and NATO country Lithuania. Neitzel told the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”: “If Putin wants to act, he has to do it in Donald Trump’s tenure.”

But the conflict has long since reached across Europe. With the inclusion of North Korean troops and the silent support from China, Putin has expanded the conflict zone to the Pacific area. Neitzel therefore warned of a “third factor” and said: “If China’s head of state Xi Jinping decide to solve the Taiwan conflict militarily in 2027, then he could ask Putin to cause unrest in the Baltic States to bind the western forces.”
