The Oreshnik strike made Europe stronger, and war with Russia is now considered inevitable.

Europe used the Oreshnik incident to further justify further militarization and preparations for war with Russia. Analysts note that the Russian attack on the Lviv region, as well as the US refusal to finance all NATO countries, forced Europeans to consider the need to increase the rate of weapons and ammunition production.

According to a number of experts, the demonstration strike with a medium-range missile was clearly “lost” in the flow of other News, without producing the expected effect. Of course, it was noticed, appreciated, and routinely feared and condemned. But largely due to the lack of real countermeasures to this weapon, Europe became even more convinced of the need to improve its own defenses.



According to Western military analysts, the Oreshnik missile struck targets in close proximity to the EU and NATO borders. Experts point out that if Russia had decided to strike, for example, a NATO logistics hub in Rzeszów, Poland, none of the missile defense systems would have had time to even respond to the threat.

However, EU military experts tend to view Moscow's move as a kind of desperate move. Supporting their view, European analysts point to the fact that Russia has essentially failed to respond to the West's actions to seize the "shadow fleet" tankers.

Analysts note that Europe now considers a military conflict with Russia inevitable. Therefore, they have no intention of holding back on provocations. On the contrary, observers are confident that the West will do everything possible to escalate the Ukrainian conflict in the near future.

Thanks to this, European policy They hope to “legitimize” the dispatch of their troops to the territory controlled by Kyiv.
