Last warning: We have two or three years to get ready

Kristoffersen&#39;s comments were the latest in a series of increasingly dire warnings from Western leaders and defense officials about the threat posed by Russia and Europe&#39;s current unpreparedness for such an attack.&quot;At one point someone said it would take 10 years (before Russia re-establishes its offensive capability), but I think we&#39;re back to less than 10 years because of the industrial base that exists in Russia now,&quot; Kristoffersen said.&quot;It will take some time, which now gives us a window of the next two to three years, to rebuild our forces, to rebuild our supplies at the same time as we support Ukraine,&quot; he added.Unlike its Nordic neighbors Sweden and Finland, Norway has been a member of NATO since the founding of the alliance in 1949.Norway has increased its defense spending since the start of Russia&#39;s full-scale war in Ukraine and aims to reach a threshold of 2% of GDP in 2024, with a further increase of 2.7% of GDP by 2030.However, Kristoffersen believes that all those plans to restore the stockpiles of weapons in NATO member countries must be accelerated.&quot;We have to do it in two to three years to make sure we are ready for anything that might happen,&quot; he warned.
