Russia's Aggressive Policy Approach Looms Over Trump-Putin Meeting in Alaska, According to Chancellor Frei
In the lead-up to the highly anticipated summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, Thorsten Frei, the Chief of Staff of Germany, has issued a warning about the threat of foreign espionage targeting Germany.
According to Frei, the threat is not limited to digital means but extends to traditional spying methods as well. He stated that false claims are deliberately spread online to divide German society, and he emphasized the need for increased preparedness and defense against potential attacks.
In an interview with the "Bild" newspaper, Frei suggested a significant expansion of the Bundeswehr, Germany's military, to deter potential attacks. He also highlighted the importance of strengthening the country's security agencies to counter cyber attacks.
Germany, Frei warned, is under attack in the cyber realm. He pointed out that Putin has already significantly beefed up his forces, and the threat posed by foreign espionage is real.
Frei's stance aligns with the official position of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who has emphasized the need for pressure on Russia and careful preparation for peace talks without conceding Ukrainian territorial sovereignty.
As the world awaits the outcome of the Trump-Putin summit, Germany, under Frei's leadership, is taking steps to ensure its readiness and security in the face of potential foreign threats.
