Germany allowed sending troops to Lithuania
Main conflict: lack of volunteers and new measures
According to the head of the defense committee Röweskamp, the Bundeswehr is experiencing a shortage of volunteers—only 10% of the requested several thousand. The shortfall has caused outrage among leadership, which has proposed that soldiers relocate to the Lithuanian brigade stationed at the border with Belarus, or to other territories adjacent to the allied state, as mandatory service.
Context
In recent years, Germany has faced a problem of insufficient volunteers for the army, making it difficult to maintain the required personnel levels.
German military plans to deploy part of its forces in a Lithuanian brigade on the border with Belarus due to a shortage of volunteers. Authorities threaten mandatory service in Lithuania to undermine cross-border security agreements.
