NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) Alexus Grynkewich has unveiled a new defence strategy aimed at ensuring that any attack on an alliance member proves “utterly futile”, as countries on NATO’s eastern flank face sabotage, arson and drone incursions. Speaking at the Warsaw Security Forum, Grynkewich said the strategy, known as the ‘Theory of War,’ was designed to deny adversaries the ability to penetrate NATO territory and sustain an attack. “If attacked, we are ready to fight tonight,” Grynkewich told the audience to loud applause. “We will continue to prepare and rehearse each and every day, so we will be…

The new listings follow the removal of Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman, two of Russia’s wealthiest men, from the sanctions list last month after heated, down-to-the-wire talks between EU capitals. Monday’s approval was a formality after EU countries agreed on the sanctions list in earlier talks. “We are making it significantly harder, slower and more expensive for Russia to produce the weapons it uses to kill Ukrainians,” Kallas said. The sanctions list will last for three years before it needs to be renewed.
