Russia may attack Europe in the winter of 2024-2025. The Kremlin could strike when the United States is electing a new president and may not be able to come to the aid of European countries quickly, writes the German publication Bild, citing its source in the intelligence of one of the European countries.
Journalists refer to the period between the departure from office of the current US President Joe Biden, in early November 2024 and the assumption of office by his potential successor in January 2025.
The Russian authorities hope that former President Donald Trump will again become the U.S. president because, under his rule, “anything can happen.”
The German Minister of Defense, Boris Pistorius, earlier stated that Europe has 5 to 8 years to “catch up” in defense and prepare for new military threats. Meanwhile, the President of Italy, Sergio Mattarella, said that the world is experiencing a “fragmented world war.”
