Leaked Documents Suggest Potential Russia-NATO Conflict in 2024

Scenario outlines Russian victory in Ukraine, followed by destabilization of NATO's eastern flank and potential escalation in 2025.

Leaked German military documents suggest that Russia could potentially go to war with NATO in 2024, following a victory in Ukraine.
The documents outline a scenario where Russia uses cyber attacks and internal chaos to destabilize NATO members in Eastern Europe, particularly the Baltic states of Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia.
Russia could move troops and weapons closer to the Baltic states, using its ally Belarus and the detached region of Kaliningrad, which is surrounded by NATO states and the Baltic Sea.
The conflict could escalate in early 2025, with Russia potentially taking advantage of the upheaval following a new US administration taking office after the 2024 presidential election.
Despite these alarming scenarios, experts note that such documents are common in military planning and the outlined timeline is considered improbable.
