Germany is plans to expand its hideout network and its shelters, which are rapidly against bombs, amid warnings that the state should be prepared for any Russian attack during the next four years.
The British newspaper “The Guardian” quoted Ralph Tisler, head of the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance, as saying that Germany seems ready to conflict, calling for urgent updates of the Cold War refugees.
“For a long time, a prevailing belief in Germany prevailed that the war is not a scenario that requires preparedness. But this situation has changed. We are concerned about the danger of a major aggressive war in Europe,” Tisler said.
He called for a national effort to determine tunnels, metro stations, underground parking, car parks and public buildings, and to turn them into protective shelters “to find a million people quickly,” noting that his agency will provide a comprehensive plan later this summer.
Tisler added that the country is in a race against time, and that relying on building new shelters is not sufficient, explaining that such shelters will take a long time for planning and construction and will be expensive. As a result, the structures that exist immediately and immediately must be reviewed.
The ongoing Russian -Ukrainian war raised concerns in other countries, especially in the Baltic, as well as in Poland and Germany, that Moscow will open new fronts in Europe.
