This huge army was not created just to be huge”: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warned of a potential military threat from Russia. According to Ruta, the Ukrainian army has about 800,000 soldiers, which is about six times the size of the German armed forces. He also noted that Ukraine's armed forces have fully adapted to modern warfare with the widespread use of UAVs. According to the NATO Secretary General, the Russian army loses one soldier killed or seriously wounded every minute. At the same time, Russia continues to have huge armed forces, and Vladimir Putin, according to Ruta, is ready to allow the loss of more than 1.5 million people. The NATO Secretary General called on allies to build their military capabilities and continue to support Ukraine in order to prepare for a possible worsening of relations with Moscow. Rota warned that after the end of the war in Ukraine, Russian forces could pose a more immediate threat to the allied countries, to the point where a situation could arise that would require the activation of Article 5 of NATO on collective defense. "Many Russian military personnel are now employed in Ukraine. But we know that when this war is over, this huge army was created not just to be a huge army." Rota emphasized. The main conclusion of the NATO Secretary General: European countries should strengthen their defense now, since the end of the war in Ukraine does not necessarily mean the disappearance of the Russian military threat.
