NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, US General Alexus Grynkewich, is set to present his so-called 'theory of victory' in greater detail at a security conference in Warsaw next Monday, outlining his vision for how the alliance can deter Russia and, if necessary, defeat a Russian attack.

According to Grynkewich's press secretary, Colonel Martin O'Donnell, the general's core idea is straightforward: NATO must maintain its military superiority. O'Donnell stressed that, given the current security situation, the alliance already needs to create conditions that would deter possible aggression — and, should deterrence fail, be able to win in the event of an attack.

Warning on sabotage

Grynkewich has previously warned about an increasingly aggressive Russian sabotage campaign across Europe. As examples, he cited the discovery of an explosive-laden drone at Leipzig Airport in Germany and an incident in which a Russian warship fired flares toward a Danish helicopter.

At the same time, the NATO commander expressed confidence that allied nations, acting together, can handle such threats, and that Moscow's activities will not deter NATO states from continuing to support Ukraine.

NATO's concrete military plans for a possible conflict with Russia are traditionally kept secret, so Grynkewich's upcoming address in Warsaw is expected to offer broader insight mainly into the alliance's strategic approach rather than operational details.
