Germany is ramping up its civil defense infrastructure in preparation for potential military conflict amid rising tensions with Russia. Ralph Tiesler, head of Germany’s civil protection agency, revealed plans to rapidly expand shelter capacity by repurposing underground spaces like metro tunnels and garages. With just 580 shelters currently available for less than 1% of the population, authorities aim to boost capacity to one million. Hospitals are being readied for mass casualties, emergency apps are being upgraded, and sirens are being doubled. These moves come as Germany increases military spending and aims to build the continent’s strongest army. Russia, in turn, accuses Germany of escalating tensions and views Berlin’s actions as direct involvement in the Ukraine conflict.#GermanArmy #Bundeswehr #WarPreparedness #DefenseSpending #NATODefense #CrisisPlanning #MilitaryBuildUp #nato #ukrainewar #WW3 #europeansecurity
