Admiral Rob Bauer, chairman of NATO's Military Committee, has declared the end of a "calm and predictable era" for the West, urging allies to prepare for times when anything, including new wars, could happen at any time, Reuters reports.

Bauer said that the North Atlantic Alliance needs a military transformation.

According to him, "in the past, NATO governments and companies lived in an era when everything was sufficient, predictable, controlled and focused on efficiency."

After the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Bauer believes that the bloc members should adjust their thinking to "an era in which anything can happen at any time."

"An era in which we should expect the unexpected, an era in which we need to focus on efficiency to be fully effective," the committee chairman added.

He summarized his speech by promising to continue to support Ukraine.

"Ukraine will have our support every single day, because the outcome of this war will determine the fate of the world," Bauer said.
