In a recent interview with Moscow's state-run Russia-1, a clip of which circulated widely on social media Saturday, the newly appointed Colonel-General Andrey Mordvichev said that the war "will not stop here [in Ukraine]."

"If we are talking about Eastern Europe, which we will have to, of course then [the war] will be longer," he added.

Actually NATO has ~3.7 million active troops and another 3.7 million in reserve, which definitely doesn't turn things in Russia's favor.
