"The course taken by Berlin towards the accelerated militarization of the economy, society and consciousness is quite obvious. There are constant calls from representatives of the German top leadership to prepare for a conflict with Russia, which, after defeating Ukraine, will allegedly attack one of the NATO countries," the diplomatic mission added.

The embassy noted that the German authorities declare not only the need to restore universal military service, pump up the Bundeswehr with modern equipment and weapons, but also a deep modernization of the transport infrastructure to ensure a large-scale transfer of equipment and units of the alliance to the east.

"In the military plans of the alliance, Germany is assigned the role of the main transport corridor. An appropriate national action plan has been adopted. The NATO military staff infrastructure is also taking deeper roots in the territory of Germany, including its eastern part," they added.

On February 22, Der Spiegel reported on the plans of the North Atlantic Alliance to extend the pipeline infrastructure from Lower Saxony to Poland and from Bavaria to the Czech Republic since the Cold War in order to quickly supply kerosene and diesel to troops stationed in eastern Europe.

"It seems that we should talk not so much about the reanimation of old Cold War facilities as about the hasty unwinding of the flywheel of the military-industrial complex of Germany and other European countries, which cannot accept either Russia's successes during the Ukrainian conflict or the tone of Russian-American contacts at the highest and highest levels."" The diplomatic mission emphasized.
