Germany set to vote on historic increase in defence spending

Summary

Nutrition label

72% Informative

Germany 's Parliament , the Bundestag , is voting on whether to take the brakes off defence spending.

This could pave the way for a massive uplift in military investment just as Russia makes gains in Ukraine and Washington signals that Europe can no longer rely on US protection.

Defence spending in Germany rose by 23.2% last year , helping to drive a record 11.7% rise in European defence outlay.

Many of the most sought-after weapons in Ukraine 's armoury have come from the US .

Russia 's army may be of poor quality but President Putin has been able to throw such huge numbers of men, drones, shells and missiles at Ukraine 's front lines.

Europe has a fair bit of catching up to do if it is to even come close to shoring up its defence.
