NATO begins restructuring process – military expert Zgurets

He said this on the air of the Espreso TV channel.

"NATO countries are now discussing how they will counteract the Russian Federation, where the lion's share of the burden is borne by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the main mission of the Alliance is to destroy Russian military power. We are talking about preparing a new NATO concept," Zgurets said.

According to the expert, the new NATO concept envisages strengthening military power.

"We are talking about increasing the number of combat-ready brigades that are capable of conducting combat operations. Increasing the number of countries involved in the front line. Increasing defence spending, adopting more effective measures of interaction between command structures. The Alliance is beginning a real restructuring process, probably preparing for more dangerous scenarios that may arise in relations with Russia," Zgurets emphasized.

• On April 24, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda said that it is necessary to find specific mechanisms that would allow Ukraine to quickly integrate into NATO.
