US General to Outline NATO Victory Strategy Amid Criticism of American Support
General Alexus Grynkewich will present NATO’s “victory theory” in Warsaw, while Lithuanian former diplomat Gabrielius Landsbergis criticizes U.S. reluctance to aid Europe.
U.S. General Alexus Grynkewich, the supreme commander of allied forces in Europe, is scheduled to deliver a presentation on NATO’s “theory of victory” against Russia at a security forum in Warsaw. His appearance is intended to convey a firm stance toward Moscow while Ukraine suffers intense bombardment. Meanwhile, the conference has drawn criticism from former Lithuanian foreign minister Gabrielius Landsbergis, who contends that one outlet U.S. administration lacks willingness to combat cyber attacks, drone incursions, or criminal arson on European soil.
Landsbergis also claims President Trump is more inclined to pursue commercial ties with Russia than to deter it. These statements underscore growing frustration among European allies about perceived U.S. inaction and the broader challenges of coordinating defense efforts within the alliance.
