Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to explore the North Atlantic Alliance's efforts to adapt to new threats created by the Russian Federation and to forecast future actions, which may be undertaken in this area. The following research problem was formulated in the work: What actions is and may be taken by the North Atlantic Alliance in the future to adapt to new threats created by the Russian Federation? In the course of the research process, it was determined that the new challenges and threats to the North Atlantic Alliance arise from the Russian Federation's efforts to revise the international order, through economic rivalry and political pressure with the key role of military force, as the basis for achieving strategic foreign policy goals. Military force is used by Russia both in the form of symmetrical military actions and hybrid forms of influence. The war in Ukraine has shown that the Russian Federation is capable and ready to conduct open armed conflict. The evolution of threats allows to assume that armed force will be the main argument used by Russia to achieve its strategic goals over the next decade. NATO's adaptation to the challenges of the international security environment consists primarily of expanding Allied deterrence and defense capabilities, increasing the quantity and quality of the armed forces deployed on the Alliance's eastern flank, conceptual and organizational changes that will adapt the North Atlantic Alliance's operations to the challenges and threats created by the Russian Federation. It is presumed that NATO's future adaptation activities may be related to increasing defense spending by member states, intensifying the process of acquiring equipment and armaments and developing the capabilities of NATO's armed forces in nuclear deterrence and the use of precision-guided weapons.
