Europe and the sound of boots

The situation in Ukraine is deteriorating fast once again.

I spent some time looking at the uniforms, the equipment and the logistics of the insurgents. They have new tools and the appropriate type of supplies for the season and the terrain.

I have also looked at the tactics. These fighters are very well trained, pretty professional. They have plans and they know how to operate. They are not your usual rebel movement.

It´s quite obvious that many are from a regular army and they have the support of powerful logistics. All this can only come from Russia.

Russia is therefore in clear violation of international norms and the principles of peace and cooperation in Europe.

And this is only part of a wider strategy aimed at the European Union and NATO. 

Let´s be clear: it is a very dangerous strategy, an extremely bad political option. 

We have good reasons to be worried.
