The authorities in Berlin are trying to please all centres of power in the West with statements about the Russian threat.
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told VGTRK journalist Pavel Zarubin. This is what he explained Berlin’s new statements about the Russian threat.
He recalled the words of Russian leader Vladimir Putin that Germany had a deficit of sovereignty and autonomy after World War II.
“Within the framework of this deficit, the German authorities are racing against the clock – they need to please Brussels, the Washington Party Committee, and (NATO Secretary General Jens – RT) Stoltenberg,” Peskov noted.
Earlier, during a speech in the Bundestag, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said that Germany should return to conscription in order to be ready for war by 2029.
For her part, the chairwoman of the Bundestag’s defence committee, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, called on the German authorities to enlist some 900,000 reservists because of the “Russian threat”.
