European countries are actively preparing to defend themselves from Russia: they increase the manufacture of weapons and conduct troops.
German votes for constitutional changes to strengthen the army at the forefront after World War II. Lithuania and Sweden have created additional components and actively conduct military training. Poland is asking citizens to have food and medicine reserves for at least three days. Warsaw with the Baltic countries also leaves international agreement in ban on anti -personnel mines. And all is just part of the uninterrupted steps that European countries oppose behind the growing risk from Russia.
Historical vote in Germany
Germany produces constitutional changes to invest in defense and trillion infrastructure euro. The vote is to this day in the lower house of Bundestag on March 18, and to become a full law with full law, the document must be adopted by the Upper House on March 21.
It should be noted that this bill will open the record level of state borrowing for defense by amending the country’s fiscal policies generated by the Constitution.
Earlier, Germany had no right to take a loan for defense of the amount of more than a third of a GDP percentage, now it is possible to invest three times more – up to 1%. Thus, the country can free the road -a billion -billions of costs by weakening the “debt brake” constitution.
More warriors
French president Emmanuel Macron announced this week that the country is building the production of Rafale fighters, and also modernize one of the country’s major air bases with the latest missile and nuclear technologies.
“The world in which we live is becoming more dangerous and unclear,” said Macron, referring to a change in the global alliance.
“Our country and our continent should continue to defend, arm and prepare if we want to avoid the war,” he warned, referring to the growth of a military threat from Russia.
For preparation 4-5 years
Lithuania is also preparing for possible Russian attacks on NATO countries until 2030 – at this time, Ukraine may join the European Union. This point of view was expressed by the President of Lithuania Gitanas Naubeda.
According to him, in the next 4-5 years, national military units will be created in Lithuania, which is fully equipped with the necessary weapons and infrastructure to show possible aggression.
“Our calculations show that we have up to 5 years left along with a scenario. If the sanctions against Russia can be canceled, we will have less time to prepare for the next stage of aggression,” Naube admits.
“Arctic War” with Russia
Sweden, a year ago joined NATO, is already preparing elite recruits for the war with Russia, reports The Wall Street Journal.
The Sweden government believes that the Arctic is of particular importance in both aspects of the military and economic, therefore, Russia may attack to strengthen the positions of the northern armada or try to gain control over natural resources.
The country is already preparing a brigade of the Arctic Special Forces, which must be one of the first to help Norway and Finland, if Russia transfer the defense lines to these countries.
According to the observations of Norwegian Intelligence, in February 2023, Russian Northern Fleet ships and submarines for 30 years began to go to sea in the duty of battle with tactical nuclear weapons on board. This “brings a serious threat to many operational scenes where countries can participate in NATO,” scouts said.
“We are willing to live at least three days”
Poland also improves the preparation of citizens for a possible war. Thus, the country’s deputy minister Vyaslav Lesnyakevich has called on the population to make reserves for three days of Autonomous Survival, TVN24 reports.
“We are prepared within the limits of our capabilities of at least three days of survival without the help of state structures. We have a water supply, the necessary medicine, cleanliness and hygiene, a food supply, illumination that will work without a electricity grid, charged with poowerbanks,” Lesnyanakevich turned to the poles.
He also emphasized the importance of having radios, which, according to him, in a critical situation may be the only way of obtaining information.
“Civil defense is not just hoping for help from the state. Each of us must show responsibility for ourselves and our family, creating our own objection to possible threats,” Lesnyakevich said.
Anti -Personnel Mines
In addition, the Ministers of Defense of Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania recommend that their countries come out of the international ban on banning anti -personnel Mines, also known as the Ottava Treaty. Warsaw has already calculated that its defense industry has the ability to produce up to one million anti -Personnel Mine per year.
“The military threats of NATO member states, bordering Russia and Belarus, have increased dramatically,” said four countries published Tuesday.
