The head of the ministry pointed out that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been completely shifting his country’s economy to war for quite some time now.
He emphasized that
Russia currently produces as many weapons and ammunition in three months as the entire European Union does in a year.
The minister recalled one of Putin’s speeches at the end of October, in which the Russian president spoke of an “irreconcilable fight” for a “new world order” and in which he already saw himself as the winner of the war against Ukraine.
Meanwhile, hybrid warfare with disinformation and fake news is in full swing
– declared Pistorius, who spoke in Arnsberg in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia at an event organized by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, which is close to the ruling German Social Democratic Party (SPD).
Our security is vulnerable. Germany needs to step up and invest more in its military capabilities
– stated the defense minister.
