Grynkewich stated that Russia lacks modern military capabilities, such as F-35 fighter jets and a large number of modern destroyers and submarines. He believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin will not launch a conventional attack on Europe, instead using methods like sabotage. Grynkewich also commented on recent threats from Moscow regarding the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, stating that NATO is a defensive alliance and Russia has no reason to worry about it.",
