The location at the front in Ukraine remains very explosive. Russia strengthens his attacks. Ukraine relies on targeted operations and NATO determines the largest upgrade program since the Cold War. The head of the Institute for Higher Military Leadership at the Brigadier Berthold Sandtner State Academy with Jana Pasching is talking about these topics.
Given the constant threat from Russia, NATO wants to upgrade en masse – and to a certain extent that has not existed since the Cold War. NATO Secretary -General Mark Rutte speaks of a “historic step” to guarantee the safety of the Member States. The focus is also on Germany: the Bundeswehr must be increased by a maximum of 60,000 soldiers. But experts doubt whether this is realistic. “Without a revival of compulsory military service, these forces will not be reached in Germany,” said Brigadier Sandtner in the conversation.
Russia calls for “almost unconditional surrender”
In the peace talks in Istanbul, Russia van Ukraine handed a memorandum for a cease -the fire and a termination of the war. In it, Russia calls for an “almost unconditional surrender” from Ukraine. It only contains Moscow maximum requirements – and should not be acceptable to KYIV.
This may be the start of a hot summer. “The Russian federation will try to create facts this year. Even because you can see that the Russians will slowly get a little problems at the end of this year or early next year when maintaining your offensive potential – material and also in staff,” Sandtner said.
