NATO prepares for Russia's invasion after the war in Ukraine: the whole problem is Trump.

The situation is escalating in European capitals due to possible provocations from Russia following the end of the conflict in Ukraine. Experts and NATO leaders are seriously concerned about the possibility of Vladimir Putin testing the unity of the western military bloc.

According to the Financial Times, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warned last month that Moscow could use force against the alliance within the next five years. 'Let's not mask the situation, we are all in the east,' he emphasized in his speech.

Donald Trump's position complicates the situation, as he, despite promising support to allies, has a mysterious stance towards various interpretations of Article 5 on collective defense. This raises doubts about the reliability of American security guarantees for European partners. Eastern European countries are beginning to bolster their defense capabilities due to pressure from both the Russian threat and Trump's demands. NATO partners have confirmed their readiness for collective defense and agreed to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP in the next decade.

Nations are preparing for a possible invasion, former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen warns of the potential consequences of a pessimistic scenario. According to him, Putin's youthful 'appetite for more territory' may awaken if he achieves success in Ukraine.

With increased tensions in Europe due to possible aggressive moves from Russia, experts see a threat to Western unity and assert the necessity to closely monitor the situation and support the defense capabilities of the countries.
