Finland's Stubb tells German newspaper Russia unlikely to risk attack on NATO

Finland's President Alexander Stubb told Bild on Saturday he does not believe Russia would risk attacking NATO, dismissing concerns about a potential 2029 invasion as lacking evidence.
German and Western officials have warned of a growing risk of Russian hybrid operations, with assessments suggesting Russia could be in position to attack NATO by 2029.
Stubb cited intelligence showing Russia loses around 30,000-35,000 troops monthly while recruiting only around 27,000 in Ukraine, complicating mobilization for a two-front war.
NATO's overwhelming conventional and nuclear strength makes it "make no sense" for any power to test the alliance's resolve, Stubb argued in the interview.
Continued European support for Ukraine is vital for regional security, Stubb said: "Ukraine is the best security guarantee we have against Russia.
