A new study has warned that there is a very real chance of a war between Russia and the West, following an increase in the scale and number of military war games currently being conducted by NATO and Russia.
Director of London-based European Leadership Network, Ian Kearns, said that a European conflict is on the cards, and that the war games “are contributing to a climate of mistrust” that have “on occasion become the focal point for some quite close encounters between the NATO and Russian militaries.”

Kearns is one of the co-authors of an ELN study, looking at two military exercises held this year by Russian and NATO. The study found signs that “Russia is preparing for a conflict with NATO, and NATO is preparing for a possible confrontation with Russia.”
The exercises “can feed uncertainty” and heighten the risk of “dangerous military encounters,” according to the ELN.
Relations between Russia and the West have deteriorated since Russia’s annexation of Crimea from Ukraine last year. The ELN study said NATO plans approximately 270 exercises this year, while Russia has announced 4,000 drills at all levels.
Russia’s March exercise involved 80,000 personnel, while NATO’s Allied Shield in June mobilized 15,000 people from 19 NATO countries and three partner states.
The study said the exercises showed what each side views as its most vulnerable points: For NATO, it’s Poland and the Baltic states while for Russia, concerns are more numerous and include the Arctic, Crimea and border areas with NATO members Estonia and Latvia.
The ELN has formulated a few ideas to defuse tensions, including for governments to examine the need for more restraint in the size and scenarios of future exercises.
“History is full of examples of leaders who think they can keep control of events, and events have a habit of taking on a momentum and dynamic of their own,” said Kearns.
