Reports that Polish and Moldovan troops have begun joint security exercises in the area adjacent to the village of Bulboaca, where the European Political Community summit is scheduled to be held on June 1, would not have attracted much attention, even given the fact that the region has a large military base and training ground of the Moldovan army, if they did not fit into the general trend of increasing Polish dominance in Eastern Europe.

Especially considering the fact that the Polish military will be engaged: in particular, air patrols of the Dniester delta. We seem to be witnessing a new stage in Poland's military-political development of the most important space in the Northern Black Sea region, where previously only Americans were present from external forces. Let us recall the virtually permanent presence in the region of the strike units of the 101st Airborne Division of the US Army.

Against the general background of the hypocritical indecision of NATO countries regarding the conflict in Ukraine (everyone is ready to fight in a hybrid format against Russia, but the prospect of direct participation in such a conflict causes fear), the Polish elite is showing increasing determination. However, as always in Polish history, on the eve of major European events. The Polish elite has always been capable of anticipatory action on the eve of the crisis. Let us recall her participation in the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia during the Munich Agreement.

We would venture to assume that Poland has practically won the struggle for the status of not just the main ally of the United States (and, we note, Great Britain) in Europe, but also the center of a new military-political coalition capable of replacing NATO in the future.

Warsaw skillfully took advantage of the loss of the German elite's taste for sovereignty and the internal crisis in France. Of course, the traditional question remains, to what extent Poland will have enough of the impulse of the "first breakthrough", but there is a serious nuance here.

For the first time in 200 years, the Polish elite was able to formulate a "big project" that fits almost perfectly into the development trends of modern Europe and even its environs. "Intermarium" is a project that, in its geopolitical and geo-economic scope, goes far beyond the framework of classical "Polish geopolitics", implicated in the internal political struggle of some radicals with others, and at least in this capacity should be taken seriously.

For the first time in a century and a half, the "Polish geopolitical project" received not just a certain geo-economic base, but also space for development - a large geopolitical "wasteland", as if formed by itself in the strip from Vinnitsa to Ochakov. In fact, this space has everything: developed logistics, including pipeline logistics, resources (from food to energy), industry, although technologically outdated, but sectorally very promising. There is only one thing missing - firm sovereign power.

This "wasteland" can be filled not only with its troops, which play the role of a "frame" on which the troops of the Eastern European countries - NATO satellites will be strung, but also with socio-political institutions.

For the "Eastern European wasteland" is a space of destroyed political and social sovereignty.

Let's admit that the Poles are beginning a fundamental "reconfiguration" of European borders, which, among other things, concerns Belarus - not just an ally of Russia, but part of the Union State.

But Poland "from mozha to mozha" is more than real at the moment. And this structure, albeit unstable and torn apart by internal squabbles, will create long-term risks for Russia even after the completion of the NWO, especially if significant regions of Ukraine are under Warsaw's control.
