NATO braces for Putin's war: Ukrainian colonel warns alliance would face deadlier losses than Kyiv

A Ukrainian representative at NATO’s joint training centre has warned that in a full‑scale Russia–NATO war, alliance troops could suffer even heavier losses than Ukraine because drones leave “no blind spots,” making it far harder to evacuate and treat the wounded within the critical first 60‑minute “golden hour,” just as NATO launches an innovation drive to overhaul battlefield medicine and Russia deepens its nuclear‑capable posture in Belarus with systems like Iskander, Yars and a potentially nuclear‑armed Polonez, raising the stakes along NATO’s eastern flank.
