Nuno Rogeiro: "Ukraine was a scraggy army. In 2014 it grew into the largest army in Europe. That also has a price"

Nuno Rogeiro and José Milhazes, commentators specialized in international affairs, analyzed a Russian attack on an ammunition depot in the locality of Milla, situated near a residential area. The attack resulted in 38 deaths.

The article frames this episode as part of a return to the Cold War, a context in which the two analysts assess what happened to try to understand what failed in Ukrainian defense.

Nuno Rogeiro commented that Ukraine was initially a scraggy army, but that after 2014 it grew until it became the largest army in Europe. According to the commentator, that transformation also has a price associated with this military buildup.
