Civilians must prepare for all-out war with Russia in the next 20 years, a top Nato military official has warned.

While armed forces are primed for the outbreak of war, private citizens need to be ready for a conflict that would require wholesale change in their lives, Adml Rob Bauer said on Thursday.

Large numbers of civilians will need to be mobilised in case of the outbreak of war and governments should put in place systems to manage the process, Adml Bauer told reporters after a meeting of Nato defence chiefs in Brussels.

“We have to realise it’s not a given that we are in peace.

And that’s why we [Nato forces] are preparing for a conflict with Russia.

It is also the industrial base and also the people that have to understand they play a role.”.

Adml Bauer, a Dutch naval officer who is chairman of Nato’s Military Committee, praised Sweden for asking all of its citizens to brace for war ahead of the country formally joining the alliance. »

The show was advertised to start at 8.30pm, but the 65-year-old musician did not take the stage until after 10.30pm, according to the lawsuit.

The late finish on the weeknight show also affected their ability to “take care of their family responsibilities the next day”, the lawsuit alleges. »
