He expressed this opinion in an interview with Welt am Sonntag.
According to Breuer, the risks of armed conflict are growing, and the European Union is faced with a real threat of military invasion for the first time since the end of the Cold War.
The lieutenant general also notes that readiness for war means both the need to change people’s thinking and the need to increase the combat effectiveness of the army.
Breuer believes that the actions and decisions of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin indicate his willingness to expand military operations that could later affect not only Ukraine.
Generals in Germany, as well as in other European countries, have repeatedly expressed the thesis in recent weeks that it is necessary to prepare for possible aggression from Russia.
In November, a Kerber Foundation poll found that 71% of respondents in Germany opposed the country taking military leadership in Europe.
