Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed serious concern about threats to Germany's security.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made a bold statement during his recent speech that raised a wave of concern in the country. He directly accused Russia of carrying out attacks on German infrastructure, pointing out that these hostile actions are happening right now.
Merz's statement was published by the Telegram channel ClashReport.
Direct accusations of attacks
The Chancellor directly accused Russia of attacks on Germany.
Russia is already attacking us today. We have attacks on infrastructure, arson, what happened in the barracks in recent days. Almost all traces lead to Russia,” he emphasized.
The politician mentioned not only abstract threats, but also concrete manifestations. In particular, the arson attacks and events that recently took place in military barracks are alarming signals.
Threat to national security
The Chancellor's statements highlight that Russia is likely to use not only military but also other methods of influence. This could be part of a broader hybrid war aimed at destabilizing the situation in European countries.
German authorities are apparently actively investigating these incidents. The findings of the investigations, according to Merz, point to a Russian connection. This raises serious concerns for German authorities regarding the national security of the state.
Recall that Germany has stated that it has evidence of Russia preparing for war with NATO. The head of the German Federal Intelligence Service, Bruno Kahl, warned that Russia plans to test the effectiveness of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Alliance and has plans for aggression against the West.
