This is how Germany imagines an attack from Russia Putin threatens the West with nuclear war: suddenly the room becomes icy

The German government is increasingly preparing itself for a possible attack by Russia on NATO and Germany. This is reported by “Bild”, with reference to a 13-page document entitled “Risk analysis for civil protection”, which is intended for the Bundestag. Accordingly, the document shows the possible sequence of an attack from the threat to the start of the war.

After the Russian attack on Ukraine, Germany becomes the focus of potential adversaries as a geographically central and powerful country, the document said. An attack by an aggressor “in NATO alliance territory and the related alliance and national defense are therefore plausible scenarios,” Bild quotes from the newspaper.

The first phase of a possible attack by Russia begins with a disinformation campaign in the media and social networks by Russia. The aim is to undermine public confidence in democracy and divide the population. Cyber ​​attacks, acts of sabotage and attacks on power plants, high-voltage lines and dams are possible, reports “Bild”. This phase is typical of clandestine operations that cannot be clearly assigned to a state actor.

First global conflict in space possible

According to the report, the second phase could begin with the deployment of Russian troops to NATO’s eastern border. As a deterrent, NATO would then station its own troops on the eastern border and the first inhabitants of the areas would flee. To slow NATO troop movements, Russia could resort to espionage, cyberattacks, acts of sabotage and attacks, as well as paralyzing satellites in space. The first attacks on water utilities, chemical companies and nuclear reactors could occur in German metropolitan areas, releasing chemical warfare agents.

According to the newspaper, the third phase will see selective military attacks by Russia on NATO areas – using conventional and non-conventional means.

In the fourth phase, “combat operations on land, at sea and in the air on German territory” are possible. A war is also spreading in space: the first global conflict in space. The conclusion of the government report: the Kremlin can be trusted with almost everything.
