Berlin fears Putin could take advantage of “even a temporary gap in NATO’s defense readiness.”

The German Ministry of Defense rejected the proposal of Bundestag representatives from the ruling coalition to supply Ukraine with more weapons and, if necessary, agreed to the weakening of the Bundeswehr. Given the threat of Russia under President Vladimir Putin, Germany cannot take such risks. This was announced on Monday, August 22, by an official representative of the military department.

“In fact, we must be prepared for the fact that Putin will exploit any weakness and even temporary gaps in NATO’s defense readiness,” AFP quoted him as saying.

The politician recalled that Germany must provide its alliance partners with “support within the framework of obligations”, as stipulated in Article 5 of the NATO Treaty. “During the Cold War, we probably will not understand if our allies have reduced collective defense because of the situation in different theaters of war – and there is such in the world,” added the Defense Ministry.

The stability and security of Europe is currently being protected in Ukraine

At the same time, in a joint article for Der Spiegel, defense experts Christian Klink, Union 90/Greens Zara Nanni and Free Democrat Alexander Müller criticized Berlin’s current position that the maintenance of the Bundeswehr’s capacity in the protection of Germany and NATO take precedence over aid. to Ukraine.

The authors of the article pointed out that until now the government explained the relatively small amount of military aid to Ukraine by the lack of military equipment in the German army itself. “This is nothing more than a constructed conflict of goals, because the security and stability of Europe is currently being defended in Ukraine,” they stressed.

As reported, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that the IRIS-T air defense system and the COBRA counter-battery radar should be delivered to Ukraine.
