Today, I participated in @GLOBSEC’s panel taking stock of Germany’s commitment to the “#Zeitenwende” together with @jgotkowska and @RoFreudenstein.

Where does Germany stand after one year? The sober answer is: The “#Zeitenwende” is for the most part unfortunately only taking place on paper.

The “Sondervermögen” needs to reach the @bundeswehrInfo faster. The longer @OlafScholz waits, the less can actually be purchased as inflationary price increases & interest payments reduce the real purchasing power. At this point, only 60-70 billion euro remain in real terms.

For the ‘#Zeitenwende’ to deliver on its promises, Germany needs:
🇺🇦a strategy to provide systematic support to Ukraine,
⚙️ a reformed procurement system that allows for the swift replenishment of national stocks and
♟️ a National Security Strategy.
