Five Dangerous Scenarios: Western Experts Warn Europe May Face a New Round of Military Confrontation
After interviewing multiple experts, the French magazine L'Express published an article stating that, in the coming years following the end of the war in Ukraine, the Kremlin might initiate a new escalation in Europe. Experts have outlined five most likely scenarios.
The article argues that Russia has been at war with Ukraine for over 1,600 days, and Putin may never have been as dangerous as he is today. Many experts and intelligence agencies believe that, unable to achieve decisive victory on the battlefield, he could launch attacks against new European targets before 2030.
If the conflict concludes through negotiations or simply reaches a frozen state, this risk will further increase. Such a scenario would give Russia a window to reorganize and rebuild its military forces.
Possible high-probability developments identified by experts include: amphibious landings targeting Gotland Island in Sweden, a military invasion of Poland to test NATO’s resolve, and attacks on the Baltic states.
