 "‘Russian danger won’t end with Ukraine war’: Nato’s warning to Europe as conflict drags on")
North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) Secretary General Mark Rutte has issued a stern, long-term security warning, stating that the fundamental danger posed by Russia will persist well after the current war in Ukraine concludes. His comments signal a new, enduring strategic posture being adopted by the Western alliance.
Rutte’s assessment dispels any notion that the end of active conflict in Ukraine will lead to a quick return to pre-war relations.
“The danger posed by Russia will not end when the war in Ukraine ends,” Rutte asserted.

He said that Nato nations must prepare for an extended period of tension, regardless of the outcome of current peace efforts or negotiations. This perspective firmly locks Russia into a role as a primary, enduring adversary for the foreseeable future.
“For the foreseeable future, Russia will remain a destabilising force in Europe and the world,” he concluded.
The Secretary General’s clear message is expected to guide defense planning across Nato member states, suggesting continued high levels of military spending, enhanced readiness along the alliance’s eastern flank, and sustained support for countries bordering Russia.
