Bundeswehr General Inspector Lt. Gen. Carsten Breuer has stated that Germany’s armed forces need to prepare for war within 5 years. In his view, the European Union is facing the threat of a possible war from outside for the first time since the end of the Cold War.
In recent weeks, generals in Germany, as in other European countries, have repeatedly stated the need to prepare for possible Russian aggression.
“If you look at the assessments of what potential military threat Russia poses, it means 5-8 years for us to prepare,” the Bundeswehr’s top general told the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag.
This does not necessarily mean that war will happen, Breuer emphasized, but he noted that he sees in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s actions an intention to expand the war beyond Ukraine.
