German troops are prepared to kill Russian soldiers if Moscow attacks a NATO member, Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has suggested.
In an interview with the Financial Times published on Sunday, Pistorius stressed that German forces – some of whom have recently been redeployed to Lithuania – would not hesitate to take lethal action if necessary.
“If deterrence doesn’t work and Russia attacks, is it going to happen? Yes,” Pistorius said. “But I would recommend that you simply go to Vilnius and talk to the representatives of the German brigade there. They know exactly what their job is.”
