MOSCOW / BERLIN — Russia’s Foreign Ministry has summoned Germany’s ambassador to Moscow, lodging a formal protest over alleged contacts between German politicians and terrorist organizations. The Kremlin has demanded a clarification from Berlin over the reported links.
Meanwhile, applications for conscientious objector status in Germany have continued to rise following the introduction of a new military service law, reflecting growing public unease over expanding defense obligations.
On the financial front, Germany has recorded a 24% increase in its defense budget, catapulting it to become the world’s fourth-largest military spender — a historic shift reflecting Berlin’s post-Ukraine war security posture.
Analysts say these developments signal deepening tensions between Russia and Germany while highlighting a significant transformation in Europe’s defense landscape.
