Germany is betting on Ukraine and the Bundeswehr is inactive short of money [COMMENT]

**The fresh German National safety strategy assumes strong support of Ukraine, as well as Berlin's fulfillment of NATO objectives to keep its own defence capabilities. But Germany's actions so far show that realising the second goal will be hard to say the least. It is besides worth noting that Berlin has somewhat different priorities in terms of defence than Paris, for example, and it focuses more heavy on cooperation with the US and acting within the framework of NATO. **
