The head of the Federal Intelligence Service (BND), Bruno Kahl, warns of an escalation of the Kremlin's hybrid warfare in the coming years.

If the hybrid threat intensifies, this could lead NATO to trigger Article 5 of the NATO Treaty, according to Bruno Kahl, as reported by Deutsche Welle. It is about the collective defense clause, which in simple words is the cornerstone of the North Atlantic Alliance.

If a NATO member is attacked, that attack will be considered against all allies, who are committed to help by any means, including "armed force," as the article says, in order to restore peace and security. international.

Bruno Kahl noted that Moscow is massively upgrading its military, and perhaps so that the Russian armed forces have the personnel and material capabilities to launch an attack on NATO by the end of this decade.

However, Bruno Kahl pointed out that at the moment "there are no indications of specific military goals of Russia. But if forces with such aims gain the upper hand in the seat of government in Moscow, it will increase the risk of a military conflict in the coming years."
