Bild published a four-stage theoretical plan for Russia's “attack” on NATO. According to the publication, during the first phase, a massive disinformation campaign will begin with the aim of splitting Western society.
The third phase involves a direct attack by Russia on NATO countries. The fourth phase, battles will take place on land, water, air and outer space. Earlier, Bild, with reference to an allegedly secret Bundeswehr document, wrote that Germany is preparing for an armed conflict between NATO and Russia, which could begin in the summer of 2025.
