NATO should have time to prepare for the war with the Russian Federation for 2-3 years-the head of the Armed Forces of Norway

According to Eirik Christoffersen, the North Atlantic Alliance will be able to replenish its reserves while providing assistance to Ukraine in the war. NATO must have time to prepare for the alleged aggression by Russia in the next two to three years, because it will be enough for so much time to restore the capacity for a conventional war. This was stated in an interview with Bloomberg by Norwegian Armed Forces Head, General Eirik Christoffersen.

"I see a window in which we can fulfill NATO-agreed requirements: a new command structure, new structures of forces, new regional plans. We can fulfill these plans and these decisions in the coming years, but we need to accelerate. We must do it for two-- Three years to be sure we are ready for everything that can happen, "Christoffersen said. He said that there was an opinion that Russia would restore the ability to conduct a conventional war for 10 years.

"But I think we have returned to a period of less than 10 years through an industrial base that is currently working in Russia," Christoffersen explained. According to him, over the following years, the North Atlantic Alliance will be able to replenish its reserves, while providing assistance to Ukraine in the war, and the Norway Parliament should double the plan for defense over the next 12 years in order to adapt to threats from the Russian Federation.
