Representatives of other European intelligence services also contributed to the warning. Their statements agree that Russia may, in the near future, seek a way to test the unity and readiness of NATO.
The warnings come at a time of heightened attention to security threats from Russia. The service representatives did not give an exact date or a specific scenario for a possible event. Their assessment therefore concerns mainly the timeframe and Moscow's possible intent to test the alliance's response.
