German Defense Minister: Vladimir Putin is already considered the winner of the war against Ukraine

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius is convinced that Russian President Vladimir Putin already considers himself the winner of the war against Ukraine and intends to continue fighting for a new world order, writes Der Spiegel.

"Russian aggression against Ukraine has long ceased to be a regional war”, the minister notes.

Pistorius points out that Putin has "completely reoriented the Russian economy on a military basis”, with Russia producing as many weapons and ammunition in three months as the entire European Union in a year.

Against the background of the continued threat from Moscow, the German minister points out that more investment is needed in "military preparedness" of Germany.

"Our security is a fragile commodity," he added.
