Russia Potential Limited Attacks on NATO Allies
U.S. intelligence warns of Russian tests of NATO unity.
Event Overview
U.S. intelligence reports suggest Vladimir Putin may authorize limited attacks, cyberattacks, or small-scale incursions on NATO allies, specifically in Poland or the Baltics.

Recent incidents involving drones in Germany and airspace violations in Romania and Poland are cited as evidence of this testing. Some reports link this threat to depleted U.S. munitions stockpiles and uncertainty regarding U.S. leadership.
