Europe Urged to Strengthen Military Defense Against Russian Threats

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has called for Europe to increase its security and defense capabilities in response to the threat posed by Russia, as the United States is expected to reduce its involvement in Europe. Pistorius warned that Russia's arms production and aggression in Ukraine could pose a real danger to Europe, particularly the Baltic states, Georgia, and Moldova. He emphasized the need for Europe to re-arm itself and push for military cooperation and aid beyond its borders to counter the influence of Russia and China.
