German minister rejects idea of ​​compulsory military service

   "Despite the fact that Russia's military operation in Ukraine has been going on for almost 6 months, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock rejects the possibility that her country could return to compulsory military service. She stated this on Friday during a question-and-answer session in Munich, informs the news agency dpa. The minister believes that compulsory military service would not make sense from a security perspective, especially when so many young and old people want to serve in the army themselves, and said that there is currently insufficient funding and training programs to ensure that all those who want to serve in the German military can do so properly.

    The minister commented on the issue of compulsory military service during a meeting with people in Munich. Recently, A. Baerbock visited various German cities to find out public opinion on security issues. The round of meetings with people came as the German Foreign Ministry prepares the government's first comprehensive national security strategy."
