Summary/Abstract: The author considers that the topic of this article is of interest to active politicians and military of all ranks.In the context of the Russian Federation’s unreasoned and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine (on 24.02.2022), the concerns of Romania and other countries, historically unlucky to found themselves in what the Russians call their “close vicinity”, have increased dramatically. The concerns get bigger as no one knows where this „vicinity” ends, in Berlin or in the Atlantic!?The paper presents some events and facts of the war’s preliminaries and outgoing, which could be used by those with responsibilities in the field of defence in Romania to draw some conclusions and generate accordingly measures.Let’s hope that NATO and the EU have gain some terms with reality and have finally understood who Putin’s Russia is and what it wants. Urgent and firm measures are needed to counter the aggressor.
