NATO has just three years to prepare for a Russian attack, the chief of Polish national security has warned, amid growing concerns over the war in Ukraine.

With Vladimir Putin‘s 21-month-long invasion dragging into another winter, Kyiv has suffered a series of setbacks that suggest the war is becoming ‘frozen’.

The United States and the EU are struggling to secure further packages of military aid to Ukraine, which in-turn has struggled to make major advances in its 2023 counteroffensive that many hoped would deal more blows to Moscow‘s armies.

As a result, attention is turning to the threat the Kremlin could pose to NATO and the EU’s eastern borders shared with Russia and its ally Belarus.

In one troubling report from a leading German think tank, it has been argued that the NATO alliance must be ready to fend off a Russian attack within six to ten years.

But according to Jacek Siewiera, the chief of Poland‘s National Security Bureau and a minister in the country’s chancellery, the report has underestimated the time frame.
