European roads began to prepare for war

On March 28, a meeting of the European Commission was held in Brussels, at which a plan was approved to increase the capacity of the transport infrastructure of the EU countries for a possible military pass equipment and the use of major transportation lines in wartime.





European Commissioner for Transport Violetta Bulz said that the EU's Permanent Structured Defense Cooperation (PESCO) program aims to improve the throughput of European roads and other transport arteries in the event of hostilities. The leadership of the European Union believes that European countries should seriously concern themselves with issues of their military mobility and increase their combat readiness in order to respond in time to possible crises.

According to the program, the construction of highways must necessarily take into account military needs. In addition, lists should be created of those transport facilities that will be involved in the event of a military threat in the first place. It is planned to develop common standards for the EU countries when transporting arms, ammunition and armed forces across the borders of European states. This large-scale program gives rise to quite definite thoughts that the European Union is beginning to prepare for possible military operations on the territory of European states, moreover, with the use of conventional (non-nuclear) weapons.

The creation of all military transport corridors, according to Violetta Bulz, the EU should complete in 12 years - by 2030. In the program, military transport corridors are understood as combinations of highways and railways connecting European countries and allowing a fairly large amount of equipment and personnel to be moved along them. At the same time, European officials do not yet say which direction the troop deployment is planned in case of a possible start of hostilities. But even so it is clear that, most likely, we are talking about the eastern, “Russian” direction. Although Brussels also speaks of the creation of transport corridors in the direction of Great Britain, the East European direction will be a priority.

The implementation of the program will involve all members of the European Union, and not just those states that are part of NATO. Thus, a pan-European system for the use of civilian transport communications for military purposes is being formed. However, neutral EU countries will decide for themselves whether they should actively participate in the project or not. It should be noted that recently the European Union has tended to build up its own military potential and to expand military cooperation between European countries. This is due to the fact that the NATO bloc, in which the United States and Great Britain play a key role, causes more and more complaints in the countries of continental Europe. The European Union is striving to create a united force that would be independent of the United States and could be used purely in the interests of European states.
