LESSONS LEARNED AFTER ONE YEAR OF WAR IN UKRAINE
LESSONS LEARNED AFTER ONE YEAR OF WAR IN UKRAINE

Summary/Abstract: The author believes that the subject of this article could be of particular interest to Romanian politicians and military personnel of all ranks, active, but also for those in reserve. In the context of the invasion of Ukraine (on 24.02.2022), by the Russian Federation without any plausible reason and unprovoked, the concerns of Romania and other countries, that are historically and geographically unluckily situated in what the Russians call with imperial arrogance their “Near Neighbourhood”, have increased dramatically, the main reason for it is that no one knows where this neighbourhood ends. The material presents some events and facts regarding the preliminaries of the war and the 12 months of atrocious war, from which local civilian and military leaders would have a lot to learn and correct. Let's hope that NATO and the EU have also woken up to reality and finally understood who Putin's Russia is and what it wants.
