We often hear and read about the Suwalki Corridor<\/strong> – east of Kaliningrad, on the Polish-Lithuanian border – as one of the EU’s Achilles’ heels, which Russia could easily cut off land connections by attacking.<\/p>

During the Cold War, the GIUP-gate<\/strong> (G-I-UK), the sea section between Greenland – Iceland – Great Britain, and the German Fulda gap (Fulda-L\u00fccke<\/strong>) between the GDR states of Hesse and the FRG states of Thuringia, were considered further vulnerabilities.<\/p>

Less well known – although of course known since 1882 – is another Achilles’ heel of Romania (and therefore NATO), the Foc\u0219ani Gate (Poarta Foc\u0219ani<\/strong>). Located between the Carpathian Mountains and the Danube Delta, in the northeastern part of the Wallachian Plain, it stretches for 80-85 kilometers in an east-west direction and about 60 km in a north-south direction through the counties of Gala\u021bi, Vrancea, Buz\u0103u and Br\u0103ila, close to the Romanian-Moldovan-Ukrainian triple border.<\/p>

Controlling the Foc\u0219ani Gate allows access to vast areas of Romanian territory and to many other regions of Europe. The area exists as a somewhat isolated zone due to poor infrastructure, which makes it vulnerable in the event of a possible Russian attack.
It has been suggested that a Russian incursion into the Budjak region of Ukraine would threaten the Foc\u0219ani Gate and the Danube Delta in Romania, which could force Romania to invade the region. A possible Romanian invasion of Budjak has been examined by several analyses for security reasons.<\/p>

If a land army could enter Romania through the Foc\u0219ani Gate, the next obstacle to overcome would be the passage through the Balkan Mountains in Bulgaria, through the Shipka Pass<\/strong>, towards the Balkans. During the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78, fierce battles were fought at the Shipka Pass.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
