German Chancellor Olaf Sholts has increased the increase in defense spending in Europe and strengthening NATO's European pillar.
"We agree that we need to strengthen NATO European pillars and increase the defense expenses at a joint press conference in Berlin.
At the same time, he noted that at the EU summit on February 3, leaders will discuss the creation of a more powerful European defense industry.
"We need rules that will make the joint development and purchase of military equipment in the European Union," the chancellor said.
At the same time, he commented on the losses of the cable between submarine cables, including Latvia and Sweden.
"It was yesterday new information about the damage to another submarine cable," Scholts said.
He insisted that "this shows the threat of the Russian shadow fleet." "Thanks to the NATO's BALTIC SENTRY, we will improve the defense of the Baltic Sea and the important infrastructure of the sea floor," said the Prime Minister of the German government.
