Analysts on Russia's war risk in Baltics; NATO conflict fears

In an interview published Saturday, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius warned that Russia could start a war with NATO as early as 2029 — or even sooner, according to some experts. In response, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said there is “no doubt about who the aggressor is,” while Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov added that Russia “may be forced to take measures to ensure its security.”
