History has taught Europe many lessons. In many cases, Europe tried to appease aggressors, including Hitler at one time, and then the Soviet Union. And as a result, it received invasions, destruction, and wars. The same situation with Ukraine. Europe had repeated warnings that the Russians would not joke and that they would never limit themselves to Crimea or part of the Donetsk or Luhansk regions. And experience has shown that such actions are bound to continue,&#8221; Barna recalls.<\/p>\n<p> https:\/\/youtu.be\/6J2_gjdPDE8?t=48<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/little-green-men-are-already-at-the-border-putin-is-preparing-a-crimean-scenario-in-estonia\/\">\u201cLittle Green Men\u201d are already at the border: Putin is preparing a Crimean scenario in Estonia<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> According to him, the Kremlin regime will definitely not limit itself to Ukraine and has already prepared a plan to invade Europe, while at the same time testing their readiness for resistance.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Today, drones are flying over Poland, Denmark, and the Baltic countries, which suggests that the Putin regime continues to test the resilience and mental health of Europeans. But it will not stop there. I am sure that an invasion is being prepared in Putin&#8217;s plans. The only question is where this invasion will be. It could be an invasion a la what happened in Crimea, in the Baltic countries, for example, Estonia, or it could happen in the Scandinavian countries, or some others. The fact that he will resort to provocations constantly is a fact,&#8221; the military officer emphasizes.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Now the main thing that Europe can do is consolidate. Because today the only front is the Ukrainian front, which stops Putin&#8217;s aggression. As long as the Ukrainian soldier is fighting here, in Donbas, along the entire 1,200-kilometer front line, the Russian aggressor will most likely not be able to launch a full-scale attack on Europe,&#8221; summed up Stepan Barna, commander of the Barni UAV platoon of the 10th Edelweiss Rifle Brigade.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" data-right>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/why-do-some-countries-support-ukraine-and-others-do-not\/\">Why Some Nations Stand with Ukraine \u2014 and Others Look Away<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> As a reminder, Finnish Defense Minister Antti H\u00e4kkanen warned that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/rosiia-stiahuie-viyska-do-kordoniv-yes-poperedzhennia-ministra-oborony-finliandii\/\">Moscow is increasing its military presence near the borders of the European Union<\/a> and is preparing for a possible new wave of aggression &#8211; even when the current conflict in Ukraine ends.<\/p>\n<p> In addition, Russia is actively building the psychological and informational foundation for a possible <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/zahroza-nad-yevropoiu-moskva-aktyvizuie-provokatsii-ta-dezinformatsiiu\/\">future war against NATO<\/a> .
