NATO’s top military commander, Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich, detailed a new defensive blueprint called 'block, blunt and break' to deter Russia from attacking European allies.
The plan, drawn from lessons in Ukraine and the Middle East, relies on precision weapons, drones, and electronic warfare to stop an invasion at the border without conquering Russian territory. Grynkewich emphasized unity among the 32 allied nations, dismissing fears of U.S. withdrawal despite political tensions under President Trump, who has eased sanctions and criticized Ukraine’s leadership. European leaders, including Poland’s Donald Tusk, warned that weakening Ukraine threatens NATO’s own security.
Meanwhile, Czech intelligence warned Russia could escalate within months, potentially targeting a NATO state directly.
