This study attempts to answer the following key questions: How has NATO adapted its defense planning vis-à-vis Russia to reflect the changed threat picture after Russia’s annexation of Crimea? What is the internal logic of these steps, and where might political-military problems arise? Moreover, the authors briefly discuss the roles of active NATO partners Sweden and Finland, which would be of crucial importance for NATO in many scenarios, but are themselves directly affected by Russia’s increasingly assertive stance.
