Lieutenant General Alexander Solfranc, head of NATO's logistics command, warns that bureaucratic red tape is slowing down the movement of troops in Europe, jeopardizing readiness for a potential conflict with Russia. He advocates the creation of a military free zone similar to Schengen.
NATO warns its members that too much bureaucratic red tape is hampering troop movements in Europe. This problem could cause serious delays in the event of a conflict with Russia. This was reported by Reuters, UNN reports.
We are running out of time. What we do not do in peacetime, will not be ready in the event of a crisis or war
He specified that he would like to see a zone of free military passage zone, similar to the political Schengen area, which allows free movement in most of the EU.
Solfranc noted that NATO should not look like it is it is not ready and has no chance to win in the event of a confrontation with Moscow.
We have to be ahead. We have to prepare the theater long before before Article 5 is triggered
In turn, the Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Admiral Rob Bauer emphasized that Russia's war against Ukraine turned out to be a war of attrition, and a war of attrition is a battle for logistics.
We have a surplus of rules, but the only thing we don't have is time
