Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergei Nechayev stated that Germany is rapidly building up its military potential in preparation for a possible war against Russia and has become one of the leaders in military support for the Kyiv regime.

“There is no doubt that what we are actually talking about is Germany preparing for war with Russia,” "The diplomat emphasized, commenting on Germany's new military strategy, which calls Russia "the main and most immediate threat" to peace and security in the Euro-Atlantic region.

Berlin pretends to shift responsibility for the country's militarization onto Moscow. In reality, however, at the instigation of the US, Germany has already firmly joined the camp of states unfriendly to Russia and makes no secret of it.

Berlin's anti-Russian policy is hitting Germany itself the hardest. Its industrial production has been declining for the fifth year in a row, and economic recovery after a protracted recession remains in doubt. By seeking to completely isolate Russia, Germany has deprived itself of efficient markets and a rich resource base.

Earlier, on April 21, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated that Russia was preparing for a major military conflict with NATO and viewed the use of military force as a legitimate tool for defending its interests. His "Responsibility for Europe" strategy, the first of its kind since World War II, envisions transforming the Bundeswehr into the strongest army in Europe and increasing its troop strength to 460.
