NATO's Military Committee Chair Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone has stated that the alliance is fully prepared to counter any potential Russian military escalation along its eastern flank. In a recent interview, Dragone affirmed that NATO's structure, soldiers, and weapons are all ready, emphasizing the alliance's readiness to defend allied territory.
