Kiesewetter warns of Russian terror, urges NATO Article 4 consultations

German CDU foreign policy expert Roderich Kiesewetter warns of further Russian terror attacks and calls for NATO Article 4 consultations, arguing that purely diplomatic and symbolic measures signal weakness to Moscow. The German federal government has declined to invoke Article 4, which allows consultations among allies if a NATO state feels threatened. The development highlights intra-alliance tensions over response to Russian hybrid threats, with uncertainty over whether Germany will shift its stance.
