BERLIN (Reuters) -Russia must never come to the assumption that it can win a war against NATO or one of the alliance's members, Germany's Chief of Defence Carsten Breuer warned in a speech to the country's top military brass in Berlin on Friday.
"We need to look into the lessons learned from the war in Ukraine, adapt them for ourselves and develop our own concepts and structures accordingly because the war in Ukraine is our teacher," Breuer said, adding that Moscow expected a quick win when it invaded its neighbour in 2022.
"We must prevent Russia from another miscalculation like this. Russia must never come to the assumption that it can win a war against NATO or a single NATO country."
