What is NATO's "theory of victory"?

NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Alexus Grynkewich, presented a "theory of victory" that outlines a three-step strategy to "block, blunt and break" any attack against alliance members. This involves stopping an initial ground assault, disrupting enemy logistics and command centres, and ultimately neutralising the attacking force.

What are the potential threats NATO is preparing for?

NATO officials have warned that Russia could escalate hybrid warfare, which includes activities like cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns, or attempt a small-scale land-grab against the alliance's eastern edge. Some reports specifically mention Poland and the Baltic states as potential targets for such aggression.

Did General Grynkewich name Russia in his speech?

While General Grynkewich did not explicitly name Russia in his presentation of the "theory of victory," his remarks were widely understood to be directed at Moscow, given the current geopolitical climate and NATO's identification of Russia as a significant threat.
