NATO commander warns Russia that alliance would dismantle attacking forces
NATO's top military commander, Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, said the alliance would break enemy warfighting systems if Russia attacks allied territory. Speaking at the Warsaw Security Forum, he outlined a strategy to block, blunt and break opposing forces. He said any attack on a NATO member would be made futile.
Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, NATO’s supreme allied commander in Europe, spoke at the Warsaw Security Forum in Poland. He described a three-part approach—blocking, blunting and breaking—and said NATO would target not only an attacking force but also the systems that support, sustain and control it. He stressed that NATO, while defensive, would fight to stop any assault on one of its 32 members.
The remarks came as European officials accuse Moscow of hybrid warfare, including sabotage, arson and cyberattacks, plus provocative military activity. In 2025, Russian drones entered Polish airspace during a major strike on Ukraine, prompting Polish and allied aircraft. NATO then launched Operation Eastern Sentry. Romania reported drone incursions, and Estonia accused Russian aircraft of violating its airspace.

" then paragraph. No markdown? Plain text. Fine. Need maybe avoid "NATO’s supreme allied commander in Europe" source phrase? It's title. Fine. "Warsaw Security Forum" proper. "Operation Eastern Sentry" proper. "Russian drones entered Polish airspace during a major strike on Ukraine" source. Paraphrase. "prompting Polish and allied aircraft" source. Could say "Polish and allied planes responded." That's original enough. "Romania reported drone incursions" source. "Estonia accused Russian aircraft of violating its airspace" source. Fine. Need maybe "The remarks came as European officials accuse Moscow..." This is from article. Good. Potential issue: "two short paragraphs (under 120 words total) of additional factual detail and background drawn ONLY from material above" We included all from material. Good. Need final only. Ensure no accidental copying source phrasing. Let's refine EXPANDED to avoid exact source phrases. Maybe: EXPANDED: Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, NATO’s supreme allied c
