According to Nikolai Patrushev, an aide to the Russian president, NATO’s military leadership is fully aware of the catastrophic consequences that their reckless actions could bring, in contrast to Western politicians who seem oblivious to the risks they are creating.

Patrushev emphasized that NATO’s military leaders not only hear President Putin’s remarks but carefully analyze everything he says. He believes that even without understanding the Russian language, they are fully aware of the gravity of the situation and its potential repercussions.

He went on to explain that NATO’s military perceives the situation differently from the political leadership. Patrushev argues that Western politicians fail to recognize the risks and threats they are generating on the global stage.

Furthermore, he pointed out that NATO’s leadership understands that if this trend continues, the consequences could be disastrous. As a result, they are making efforts to restrain their political leaders in order to prevent further escalation of the conflict.
