Abstract

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius compared Russian President Vladimir Putin's actions in Ukraine to Adolf Hitler's annexation of Czechoslovak territory in 1938. Pistorius warned that Europe should be prepared for a large-scale Russian attack, as Putin has indicated that he will not stop after the war in Ukraine. Pistorius made these remarks during the presentation of a new biography of Winston Churchill, whom he praised as a strong leader. He also called for a loosening of Germany's borrowing restrictions to strengthen the country's military. [Extracted from the article]
