Ukrainian President Zelenskyy stated on May 15 that Russia is weighing military operations from Belarusian territory against either northern Ukraine or a NATO member state, intensifying focus on the alliance’s eastern flank. NATO officials and European intelligence assessments continue to cite Moscow’s broader territorial ambitions extending beyond Ukraine, with Russian forces expanding units along the border and conducting drills that test alliance response times. Traders weigh these signals against statements from European intelligence that Russia lacks the immediate capacity for a direct attack in 2026 while it sustains operations in Ukraine. Key upcoming factors include NATO force posture adjustments, potential security guarantees for Ukraine, and any escalation in gray-zone activities such as airspace probes or infrastructure incidents near Poland or the Baltic states.
