Pistorius named the main areas of military technologies of the future.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that Europe will not be able to relax even if a peace agreement is reached in Russia's war against Ukraine — Vladimir Putin will continue to provoke the West.
He said this at the Innovation Night event held on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, Ukrinform reports.
According to the minister, the Trump administration “is trying to conclude a speedy peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine.” And to Europe, “the United States offers to ensure broad security for this world.”
However, even if a peace agreement is reached, Europe will not be able to relax, Pistorius believes, because Moscow will continue to provoke European countries, and Europeans will have to ensure peace.
“Putin will continue to attack us in a hybrid manner. He will continue to be a threat to our continent,” Pistorius said on the eve of the opening of the event.
Therefore, according to the minister, Europe must protect itself with a strong innovative base of military technologies. The war in Ukraine has shown the importance of technological innovation in the conditions of modern warfare.
“Peace in Europe can only be ensured from a position of strength,” Pistorius emphasized.
The head of the German Defense Ministry named 4 main areas of military technologies of the future: artificial intelligence, drones, quantum technologies and cybersecurity.
At the same time, Pistorius emphasized that no peace agreement can be reached without discussions with Ukraine. And any negotiations without the inclusion of Europe will not work either, the minister is sure.
