NATO military commanders are discussing how the alliance could strike targets deep inside Russia if Moscow attacked a NATO member. The discussions concern contingency planning, not an announced decision to launch military action.
Accounts of the commanders' remarks refer to Russian bases, logistics facilities and defense-industry sites. The publicly available information does not identify an approved list of targets.
According to the investigation, NATO's first symposium on long-range strikes, or deep strike, took place in June 2026. It was organized by commander Alexus Grynkewich.
