Project Loop Special Monitoring Report Assesses Risks on NATO’s Eastern Flank
As part of Project Loop, Open Nuclear Network (ONN) is pleased to publish its first Special Monitoring Report, “Russia and NATO’s Eastern Flank: Assessing the Summer 2026 Warning Wave”, authored by ONN Assistant Analyst Linus Höller, examining recent Western warnings of potential Russian provocations against NATO territory.
Nuclear Safety Under Strain
