That Germany takes the risks of The war between Russia and Ukraine and fears that they end up affecting them It is something that has made clear the new government. This Tuesday the lower house of the Bundestag has approved a constitutional reform that will allow a historical increase in defense expenditure to rearm the country. In this context, the inspector general of the Bundeswehr, General Carsten Breuer, has assured that his country lives a “current threat.”
With these words, the head of the German General Staff referred to the situation in Europe in one of the most audience shows on German television, according to the newspaper ABC. In his speech in the Sandra Maischberger program, Breuer defended the reasons why Germany must multiply his defense capacity as soon as possible, between which he stressed that Russia is already “preparing a great war”.
Breuer said that Russian drones fly “over the German barracks in which Ukrainian soldiers” and “chemical parks” are trained. “We realize that Sabotage acts are increasing. We find that espionage is increasing. All this is part of the hybrid war and preparations. Russia prepares for a larger war, wants to identify attack objectives and wants to bring uncertainty to the population, “he warned.
The general also said that intelligence services are observing “A massive rearmament in Russia” and that the armament “is massively entering the deposits.” “Putin is planning towards the West, creating new military districts in St. Petersburg, for example.”
On the increase in defense spending, the military did not want to specify what the first 500,000 million euros that the new German executive will give will be used. Even so, the need to allocate part of that investment to Reduce Germany dependence on the weapons systems of the United States. In addition, he recalled that this is not a unique payment, but will be “a continuous investment.” “We contribute some reliability, for planning within Bundeswehr, but above all for planning in the weapons industry,” he said.
Finally, Breuer put 2029 as the date on which Kremlin would be able to begin this conflict. “The end of the Ukraine War would not change Putin’s plans,” he said. “Macron estimates that Europe would take ten years to be sovereign in defense policy and I agree. But we have no ten years. We have four years to close this gap as much as possible“He said.
