"Putin Accelerates Preparations for Conflict with NATO, Analysts Warn"

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) suggests that Russian President Vladimir Putin is potentially preparing for a conflict with NATO on a shorter timeline than previously thought, with signs indicating financial, economic, and military preparations for a large-scale conventional conflict. Tensions between Russia and NATO have been high since the invasion of Ukraine, and recent statements from Putin and warnings from NATO officials have raised concerns about the possibility of a war between Russia and the alliance. The ISW also highlighted structural moves within the Russian military to support the war in Ukraine while building capabilities for a potential full-scale conflict with NATO.
