Russia, under Vladimir Putin, aims to dismantle NATO's collective defense mechanism by winning smaller, one-on-one conflicts and creating situations where NATO members hesitate to invoke Article 5, rather than engaging in a full-scale war it cannot win against a fully mobilized NATO. This strategy is driven by Russia's geopolitical ambitions to reestablish itself as a great power and diminish US influence.
