The Germans are not ready to fight with the Russian Federation: almost 60% of those surveyed would not protect the country from the attacker - the media

According to journalists, the results of the survey are beaten according to the Government of Friedrich Mertz in re -equipment. In July, German Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius published plans for the annual recruitment to the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesver) 40,000 young people by 2031.

According to this scheme, it is planned to send all men after reaching the 18 years required to fill out the questionnaires, after which medical examinations can be carried out to check suitability for service. According to representatives of the Bundeswehr, by 2035 it is planned to increase the number of the German army from 182 000 to 260,000 servicemen, and reserve forces - from 60,000 to 200,000 people.

Journalists recalled that in Germany the military duty was abolished in 2011, but the full -scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine prompted Berlin to rethink the issue of security. After winning the elections in February, the new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that "Germany returned" and promised to resist the invading actions of President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.

He introduced historical reforms of debt legislation that allowed potentially unlimited expenditures from the state budget for defense for projects worth more than 1% of the gross domestic product, as well as created a special infrastructure fund for the amount of 500 billion euros for the restoration of Germany road and railway network.

As the German paths will serve as a transit zone to transfer allies troops to the Eastern Front, this fund is one of the larger planning of the safety of the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) in case of potential war with Russia. The authors of the material point out that not only Germany in Europe has difficulty in a set of recruits.

A similar survey in Italy found that only 16% of citizens have been ready to protect the country from attackers, despite the fact that over the past 10 years, the cost of defense has increased by 46%. We will remind, on August 5 the media wrote that against the background of joint exercises of the Russian Federation and Belarus Germany overturned fighters to Poland.
