German intel finds evidence Kremlin discussing NATO attack — EU commissioner

Kubilius spoke about this in an interview with Gazeta Wyborcza.

"I trust the special services. And German intelligence claims to have evidence that the Kremlin is discussing an attack on NATO. And if they are discussing it, are they planning an attack? We don't know. But such signals must be taken seriously. They may indeed be ready for war. We must also be ready for it and learn not only from the experience of the Ukrainians but also from the Russians," said Kubilius.

He emphasized that Russia is capable of producing weapons on a large scale and has adapted to technological transformation during the war against Ukraine.

"The Russians at the front are achieving what they can, and they are paying a terrible price for it. This certainly does not satisfy anyone in the Kremlin. Putin was supposed to be in Kyiv three days after the start of the war. But in the meantime, the way of waging war has changed. Let's not forget that the Russians were able to adapt to this technological transformation. Despite huge losses, Russia is also capable of producing weapons, ammunition, and military equipment on a large scale," the European Commissioner stressed.

At the same time, he assured that Europe has begun to respond appropriately to the challenges.

"NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte repeats that when it comes to artillery ammunition, Russia can produce in three months as much as all NATO countries, including the United States and Canada, can produce in a year. We need to catch up. And we are already doing it. The European Commission has started to support the arms industry. As a result, the production of howitzer ammunition will increase this year. I am glad to see that new arms factories are being built in the EU. We are catching up," Kubilius is convinced.

• On October 6, Andrius Kubilius stated that Europe plans to adopt Ukraine’s drone defense model to build an effective protection system.
