"German politician Roderich Kiesewetter has issued a warning that 2026 is looking highly likely to be the most "critical" time in history. The number of Russian troops is four times the size of the British army and these numbers are building as Putin's forces are growing along Europe's border and troops from Belarus are to deploy, this mirrors the troops build up seen in 2022 prior to the outbreak of full-scale war in Ukraine."
"He said that government's across Europe, including the UK must prepare all their citizens for conflict as the bloc is now in a "critical" moment in history as "survival" depends "not just through our ability to defend ourselves, and also by not frightening our population, but rather saying: 'Attention, this could happen, let's be careful." Chief of the Defence Staff Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton said on Monday evening that more British families will learn to "know what sacrifice for our nation means""
More than 360,000 Russian troops are positioned on Europe's border, including forces in Belarus, creating a force roughly four times the size of the British army. Troop numbers continue to increase and mirror the 2022 pre-war buildup in Ukraine. Over 400,000 new recruits have joined the Russian Armed Forces this year, and winter military exercises are described as 'unprecedentedly intense.' Large-scale training is occurring, with battalions based in Belarus and widespread preparations underway. European governments are urged to prepare citizens for potential conflict and to balance defensive readiness with calm public messaging. The UK is increasing defence preparedness and public awareness.
