Germany has decided to increase spending on overseas exercises

In 2015, Germany will spend to participate in the ongoing overseas military exercises 90 million instead of the planned 70 million euros, told German news Agency DPA referring to its sources.
The reason for the increase in budget spending on foreign military exercises is that on the background of the events in Ukraine, NATO has increased the number of military exercises in the Eastern block countries.
in the exercises in 2015 154 thousand Soldiers of the Bundeswehr ? 6 thousand Persons less than in total for 2014, but two times more than in 2013, reports the news Agency. Only in the exercises, which will be held in 2015 in the confines of Poland and the Baltic republics will attend 4, 4 thousand people in Germany. A request for information about the number, the size of the force and amount of payment of military exercises, which will be attended by Germany, did the opposition Left party. She occasionally acts with criticism of government decisions on the participation of Residents in hostilities abroad and protests against the course of confrontation with Russia. Review of the authorized party, the teachings ? especially in light of increased expenses associated with them, is able to " exacerbate disagreements with Russia and put under the threat of global order in the European Union ". Recall that under the pretext of the need to counter the "Russian threat" certain NATO countries are trying to maintain or even increase their own defense budgets ? for example, the UK. However, the former Deputy military chief of the UN mission in Kashmir, a military analyst and journalist Brian Claflin described as "ridiculous" attempt by the US to scare the Russian Federation military exercises.
