Olaf Scholz: Germany and Europe must become so strong "that no one dares to attack us" The best guarantee for this remains NATO – “on both sides of the Atlantic,” emphasized the Chancellor. This year, for the first time in decades, Germany is investing two percent of its economic output in defense.

Without security there is no freedom, no democracy and no human rights, said the Chancellor at the end of his video message for the second anniversary of the Russian attack on Ukraine.
