There are currently no indications that Russia is planning to invade any NATO country, Admiral Rob Bauer, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, told reporters in Riga today, Paralel.Az reports citing The Baltic Times.

"There is no indication that Russia is planning to attack any NATO member state. I do not think there is a direct threat. The problem is that Russia's ambitions go beyond Ukraine. We know that, so the Alliance as a whole needs to be more prepared," the Admiral said.

At the same time, the Alliance has agreed to consider Russia as a threat and, accordingly, the Alliance is changing its military plans, refocusing on collective defense. These plans were agreed at the NATO Summit in Vilnius and the work is about "making sure we can defend against the threat", Bauer said.
