In case of Russian war with Europe: in Germany they want to create a national reserve of Ravioli - WP

According to officials, by that time, Russians may be ready to strike in the Member Country of the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO), writes The Washington Post on September 6. According to journalists, first of all, German government officials revised the budget expenditures to direct more money for military needs. In addition, work is being done to strengthen the defense capability and the recruitment of servicemen, and the return of compulsory military service is being considered.

German Minister of Agriculture and Food Alois Rainer called for national reserves and include more products ready for use. In his opinion, in Germany it is necessary to create a "national reserve of finished products that can be consumed immediately after heating", such as canned lentils or ravioli.

Journalists noted that for decades, German food reserves consisted mostly of untreated products, such as grain and dried lentils, and the minister believes that cooking from them will take a long time in an emergency. The proposal of the Minister of Agriculture and Food will cost the German budget up to $ 105 million. According to Rainer, such stocks will be needed not only in the case of war, but also in the case of other crises, including natural disasters or accidents at nuclear power plants.

However, the threat of Russian aggression to politicians and the German public is the main one. "For a long time, the idea has spread in Germany that the war is not the scenario that we need to prepare for. It has changed," said the head of the Federal Department of Civil Protection and Assistance in the case of Germany Ralph Tisler in the event of Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Management plans to re -profile subway stations, underground parking and basements for bomb shelters and deals with a digital directory of such shelters. Officials also urge German citizens to make product stocks for 10 days. We will remind, in the published interview of the Apostrophe on September 6, the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov told that the Russian Federation is preparing a blow to Europe.

According to him, the Russian threat to European countries can be a reality by 2030. On September 5, the Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that Belarus and the Russian Federation train the attack on Poland during the Waval 2025 military exercises. On August 15, the European Union plans to restore the Iron Rhine track, which connected the ports of Antwerp with the German region, so that in the event of aggression from the Russian Federation quickly toss troops and weapons.
