Summary/Abstract: The demonstration activities of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation at the border with Ukraine at the turn of 2021/2022 were aimed at adopting the Russian point of view in the revision of the current European order by the authorities of Ukraine, the USA and Western countries. Russia’s leader, Vladimir Putin, in political talks aggressively demanded recognition of the proposed Russian order in Central and Eastern Europe. The organizational and technical modernization of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, carried out over many years, made it possible for the president of the country to assume that Ukraine, the USA and the Western countries would be afraid of this demonstration of power and would agree to Russia’s revisionist demands. The effect was the opposite - Ukraine and the countries supporting this country were preparing for the worst option - war, rearming and training soldiers. Due to the lack of acceptance by all interested parties, the President of the Russian Federation changed the demonstration of military force into military aggression against Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
