Abstract:

This year's largest Belarusian-Russian military exercises, Zapad, demonstrated that Russia, despite its involvement in the war in Ukraine, still has the capacity to threaten the risk of escalation with NATO. The course of the manoeuvres and accompanying actions, including the drone incursion into Poland and following disinformation operation, also have shown that Russia will continue to exert pressure on Alliance members to try to intimidate them. To prevent the Russian authorities from achieving their goals, NATO countries should accelerate efforts to build social resilience and military capabilities that will strengthen their defence capabilities.
