Summary/Abstract: The author appreciates that the subject of this article may be of interest to politicians, the military and the general public. After the annexation of Crimea in 2014 by the Russian Federation by combining several methods of the so-called "Hybrid War", the oppressiveness of the Kremlin team, controlled with an iron hand by Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, became more and more evident. The launch of the invasion of Ukraine, without any plausible reason on 24.02.2022, proves even to the last skeptics that Russia has begun the restoration of the U.S.S.R. 2.0. and perhaps more than that, trampling down with history confirmed brutality anything that opposes it. In this context, the concerns for Romania and for other countries in the so-called "close neighborhood" by Russia have increased dramatically. The facts require urgent measures and forms of countering the aggressor, primarily by NATO and the EU.
