Putin moves artillery to NATO border for imminent attack

Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing to launch an attack on a NATO member country less than a year after the war in Ukraine ends, according to a senior Western intelligence official.

On Friday, Putin presided over Russia’s Victory Day military parade, which this year marked the 80th anniversary of the Allied victory in World War II. The annual event is also used by the Kremlin as a showcase of Russia’s military strength.

“Russia is producing much more artillery, also with help from other countries, than they need for the war with Ukraine,” Dutch military intelligence chief Vice-Admiral Peter Reesink told Politico.

Reesink warned that Russia has been relocating a large number of artillery units to the border with Finland, calling it a worrying signal. “That's an indication for us that they are building up capability,” he said.

“The Netherlands, like the rest of NATO countries, is in a phase of an enhanced readiness programme to make sure that we're ready if that occurs,” Reesink added.
