Putin preparing for another war - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD
Dutch intelligence has issued a stark assessment: Russia could be ready for another war within a year of the end of fighting in Ukraine. This episode breaks down what that timeline really means and why it points to something deeper than simple military recovery. Join us as our host, Jonasz Rewiński, and his guest, retired Col. Vaidotas Malinionis, Founder and Managing Director of Lithuanias National Defense Foundation, examine how Russia is restructuring its economy, society, and strategy around sustained conflict. The focus is not just on capability, but intent: limited wars designed to fracture NATO rather than defeat it outright. If the war in Ukraine ends, the next phase may already be planned.
