In just three months, Russia produces as much weaponry and ammunition as the EU does in an entire year, according to Germany's defense minister.

The Russian aggressive war against Ukraine is no longer a regional issue. Putin is fighting for a new world order and already sees himself as the victor in this conflict.

This was stated by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, as reported by Spiegel.

Pistorius believes that Europe faces a long-term threat, as the Russian dictator Putin has "completely transitioned to a war economy." According to the minister, Russia produces as much weaponry and ammunition in three months as the entire European Union does in a year.

At the same time, a hybrid war involving disinformation and fake news is in full swing. "Our security is a fragile asset," noted Pistorius. He added that Germany needs to do more for its own "military capability."

Background. Earlier, Mind reported that Germans are preparing for a possible military invasion by Russia: developing defense plans and conducting awareness campaigns among businesses.
