A Russian attack occurred in the vicinity of the border with Poland, which was described as an attack at the gates of the European Union. The incident represents a significant approach of the conflict to the external border of the EU.
Germano Almeida commented on the event, emphasizing that the aggression signals a direct escalation by Vladimir Putin against European space and European deterrence. The analyst considered that the situation demonstrates an explicit challenge to the security of the continent.
According to Germano Almeida, European deterrence has failed in the face of this attack. The assessment suggests that the existing defense and deterrence measures were not sufficient to prevent the expansion of the conflict to areas near the territory of the European Union.
