"Russia is a lasting threat. The war in Ukraine is existential for Russia. And it is determined to achieve what it has set as its goal, or at least what Putin has set as his goal, with the ultimate objective, in military terms, being to weaken Europe and dismantle NATO. That is Russia's goal, it is Putin's goal.
To achieve it, through the war in Ukraine, it has reorganized itself quite quickly and effectively, setting up a war economy that is now running at full capacity. This war economy, I believe, is currently one of the key factors keeping the Russian economy afloat. And so, there is no reason - and even a kind of impossibility - to abruptly stop this. This means that Russia will continue to rearm at this pace.
And so, despite the losses it is suffering, the incredible losses it is suffering, we estimate that by 2030, it will once again be a force that will pose a real threat to our borders on the eastern flank of Europe.
