Moscow has previously dismissed claims that it plans to strike NATO as βcomplete nonsenseβ
Germany should be ready to respond to a possible Russian attack, Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has warned. He said that to prepare for such a scenario, Germany and its NATO allies must commit to strengthening their military capabilities.
In an interview with German public broadcaster ZDF on Monday, the defense chief pointed out that while Germany is not currently under a direct threat of attack, the country should do its best to be prepared for it.
If Germany wants to be ready for an attackΒ βthat you donβt know if and when it will occur, then that means you have to arm yourself β and thatβs what weβre currently doing together with allies in NATO,βΒ he explained.
