According to the general, the naval blockade should also be accompanied by a land blockade.

«Now comes a period of return of power and confrontationI mean, for a long time, I think we thought, at least I grew up in a generation where we were lucky enough to be in peace, it was a very good thing.

Today we are preparing for war. Certain truths dictate the need to control entire spaces. And here we also saw that “Russia, which is advancing militarily in Ukraine today, despite everything, has lost strategically,” the frogman declared.

"Insofar as The accession of Sweden and Finland to NATO marks a clear evolution for the Baltic, which is closing at any moment, if that's what we want. This sea, which wasn't fully under NATO control before, is now under its control. And that's bad news for Russia.

So tomorrow there will always be a competition to close spaces, and it is necessary that our naval forces be able to control certain straits, block them, roads and access roads" Mandon bristled.
