The Ukrainian conflict has demonstrated that the Russian Federation is now more likely to use a strategy of inspired pretexts than ever before in order to influence international relations and the internal situation of former communist republics and other Countries of Eastern Europe. This article describes the possible areas of hotspots that may be used by Russia to create an atmosphere of tension in the eastern part of the Baltic Sea region. It also points out the differences in attitude to Russia's activities, revealed by various NATO members during the Ukrainian conflict and the current role of the 5th Article of The North Atlantic Treaty in a system of collective defence.

W ostatnich latach zapanowało błędne przekonanie, że królowa broni – artyleria – utraciła swoje dotychczasowe znaczenie na nowoczesnym polu walki; dotyczyło to zwłaszcza uzbrojenia o trakcji ciągnionej. Tymczasem przebieg działań zbrojnych na terenach wschodniej Ukrainy, nagminne użycie broni artyleryjskiej przez obie strony konfliktu – w tym właśnie artylerii holowanej – dowodzi, że w konflikcie konwencjonalnym ten rodzaj uzbrojenia nie odszedł jeszcze do lamusa. Analiza wykorzystania środków artyleryjskich przez obie strony konfliktu, wysoka skuteczność działania ognia artyleryjskiego, powodującego – według różnych danych – do 85% ofiar po obu stronach konfliktu, wskazują na ogromną rolę, jaką na polu walki odrywa ten rodzaj wojsk.

Not long time ago it seemed that on the modern battlefield some categories of weaponry – including artillery – will not play a major role. The conflict in the eastern Ukraine shows how wrong we were and that this view should be quickly revised. Undoubtedly the war in Donbas region showed, that the artillery still plays an important role in the conventional conflict. Moreover, we can conclude, that in certain cases the artillery usage is almost crucial. The importance of artillery usage is emphasized by the experts in military and observers of the Ukrainian conflict – some of them cite the data, that up to 85% of casualties on both sides are caused by the artillery fire.
