8:26Now PlayingRecent US intelligence assessments indicate Russian President Vladimir Putin could try to test NATO’s resolve by launching a limited attack on an allied country within the next few years, according to three sources familiar with those reports.
The intelligence assessments outline several possible scenarios for Russian escalation, ranging from a cyberattack to a small-scale incursion intended to challenge NATO’s unity and commitment to Article 5, which states that an attack on one member is an attack on all, without necessarily crossing the threshold for an allied response, the sources said.
CNN’s Senior National Security Reporter Zach Cohen talks about his reporting on Putin’s potential attack. Former CIA director Leon Panetta and former Ambassador John Bolton provide analysis. Also, we take a look at Russia’s recent moves to intensify strikes on Ukraine.
