Russia warns of German rearmament program

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Friday that the increase in German military spending meant that Germany was being militarized, which could increase “global” security risks.

Zakharova indirectly accused Berlin that it could develop an expansionist policy and lead to a new world war, saying it was known how German militarization could end.

“We take the statement of the German Chancellor (Olaf Scholz) as further confirmation that Berlin has paved the way for a rapid militarization of the country. How could this end? “Alas, this is known from history,” said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman.
