Vladimir Putin will invade a Nato country if he succeeds in Ukraine, it was warned today.
David Petraeus, a respected former US general and CIA chief, also claimed Lithuania would be most at risk.
He said Russia could launch an incursion into that Baltic state to test Western resolve or as a precursor to a wider offensive.
Mr Petraeus, who headed the CIA after a stellar military career, also criticised US President Donald Trump for repeatedly granting second chances to Putin and took aim at predecessor Joe Biden for failures to adequately arm Ukrainian forces.
Mr Petraeus, who led tens of thousands of US, British and other nationality troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan, also called on the UK to withdraw from international accords forbidding the use of cluster munitions on the battlefield.
