The attack near the border with Poland, a NATO member country, increases the risk of escalation of the conflict to Western alliance territory. Putin's analysis of not wanting a direct confrontation raises questions about the limits Moscow is willing to respect. The geographic proximity to Europe makes these developments relevant to European security.
