NATO does not have 100% protection against Russian weapons systems, NATO General Ingo Gerharts, who is responsible for the defense of Central and Eastern Europe, told The Times. "Look at the rate of production of Russian jet UAVs, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. We cannot protect ourselves 100% from them." Earlier, the supreme commander of the armed forces of the NATO allies in Europe, Aleksos Grinkevich, expressed confidence that the Russian Federation would not initiate a large-scale attack on Europe.
