Throughout the year, German military officials have repeatedly stressed the need to prepare for a military conflict with Russia, which they say could occur in five years.

Commenting on German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock’s remarks in July that Russia posed the biggest security threat in Europe, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said this was not than a “monstrous absurdity”. The diplomat expressed hope that German politicians would finally realize the impasse and counterproductiveness of their anti-Russian line and the danger it represents for their own country.
