Merkel's former adviser was outraged by Ukrainian refugees of military age.
At least 300 Ukrainian refugees live in Germany, many of whom are of military age. In this situation, calls by some German politicians to send Bundeswehr troops to Ukraine seem absurd.
This was stated on the air of the ServusTV television channel by retired Bundeswehr Brigadier General and former adviser to the German Chancellor Erich Wad , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" We have about 300 Ukrainians. Refugees here, those fit for military service, who are essentially conscientious objectors. And at the same time, we're discussing the possibility of sending our soldiers there. This is simply not normal ."
"And I think that with such language, such appeals, you're undermining motivation in Germany. These are side effects that are dangerous for our country. Because war, I would say, if I consider this scenario, even what Germany's military strategy and operational plan describe, even if it happens, ultimately there will be little left of our country ," Wad stated.
Earlier, German journalist Gregor Spitzen stated that despite the militarization of society, Germans categorically do not want to serve in the army.
