According to Boris Pistorius, military experts are closely monitoring the situation in the Russian Federation.

Military experts follow the events in Russia very closely. There, the military industry is developing significantly, many tanks and planes are produced, which means that the Russian armed forces are growing significantly. By 2026, their number is likely to grow to 1.5 million soldiers

He noted that military experts believe that “Putin in 2029-2030 can reorganize his armed forces in order to create suitable conditions for a possible theoretical attack on other countries”, in particular on NATO countries.

“Therefore, by this moment, we have to ensure our defense capability. This task, of course, requires both time and money, but we strive for the goal,” the German minister emphasized.
