The Kremlin on Saturday warned that the deployment of US missiles in Germany could make European capitals targets for Russian missiles.

Germany has reportedly scrapped plans to reintroduce military conscription to fill the depleted ranks of the Bundeswehr.

Germany has refused to apologise to the United Kingdom for appearing to disclose that British troops are active on the ground in Ukraine.

A proposal to let foreign citizens serve in the German army is under consideration by Berlin. If approved, it will allow the Bundeswehr to build strength on the back of a recent announcement that conscription could return as the prospect of a grand “European army” looms on the horizon.

More than half of Germans of all ages – with one key cohort excepted – want to restore compulsory military service, a survey released Thursday reveals, as war on the European continent between Russia and Ukraine drags on into another year.

Germany will double its military aid to Ukraine despite growing concerns over Kyiv’s ability to continue the fight against Russia.

The people of Germany need to become prepared to fight a war in Europe, Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has warned.

Germany will provide Ukraine with an additional 2.7 billion euros in military aid, including tanks, anti-aircraft systems, and ammunition.

Minister of Defence Boris Pistorius admitted this week that the German military is incapable of defending the nation if needed.

A growing debate is emerging in Germany as to whether military conscription should be reintroduced after it was abolished in 2011.
