🇩🇪 German ports request €3 billion from the Defense Ministry to prepare for a potential war with Russia
The Central Association of German Seaports (ZDS) has appealed to Defense Minister Boris Pistorius for funding to prepare for a possible conflict with Russia, DPA reports, citing a letter.
According to the letter, in the event of hostilities, ports would be on the "front line of attack" due to their central role in transferring Bundeswehr equipment, troops, and NATO partner forces.
ZDS estimates that at least €3 billion will be needed for preparations. The funds would be used to upgrade infrastructure and implement measures to protect facilities from attacks and cyber threats.
Germany's largest seaports by cargo turnover are Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Wilhelmshaven, and Rostock.#btc bearish please follow me
