Germany's defence chief stated that there's no current indication of Russian attacks on NATO territories during upcoming Zapad-2025 exercises. These drills, hosted by Russia and Belarus, have heightened security concerns in Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. Germany simultaneously conducts Quadriga exercises with Western allies for defensive preparedness.

In light of the upcoming Zapad-2025 military exercises, Germany's top defense official Carsten Breuer reassured that there's no immediate threat of Russian attacks on NATO territories. Nonetheless, Germany and NATO remain vigilant as the drills approach.

The Zapad-2025 exercises, set to occur in Russia and Belarus, have triggered security fears among NATO members Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. Despite no current signs of aggression, the exercises' history of troop maneuvers raises legitimate concerns.

Concurrently, Germany spearheads Quadriga drills with 13 allied nations, focusing on defense strategies involving air, sea, and land. This overlap is crucial for NATO's Eastern European defense infrastructure amid ongoing tensions in the region.
