European officials and Western intelligence assessments are warning that Russia is taking greater risks toward NATO as its war in Ukraine continues. Denmark has warned that Russia could attack a NATO member within months, while a senior NATO commander said President Vladimir Putin is becoming more cavalier and increasingly willing to accept risk.

Poland’s foreign minister cautioned Russians against testing his country, saying Poland has more combat aircraft than Russia. Czech President Petr Pavel separately said U.S. allies should shoot down Russian aircraft that test NATO’s boundaries.

A Western intelligence assessment reported by Business Insider said Russia remains unlikely to achieve a breakthrough in Ukraine even as risks to NATO increase. Bloomberg characterized Moscow’s activity as a “shadow war” testing the alliance’s restraint.
