在前任防長蘭布雷特(Christine Lambrecht)因一接連失言受到抨擊、並在週一(1月16日)宣布辭職後,德國政府立即在週二(1月17日)正式任命新任防長,由62歲的lower saxony(Lower Saxony) Secretary of the InteriorPistorias(Boris Pistorius) served.

It is reported that Pistorias ran for the leadership of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) in 2019 and is known for his tough attitude on security issues. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who also belongs to the Social Democratic Party, said that Pistorius is an experienced politician who has been responsible for security policy for many years and believes that he can lead the Bundeswehr through the current turning point. Suitable candidates.
At this moment, Western allies are putting pressure on Berlin to allow Ukraine to use German-made main tanks in the war against Russia. Germany has always been cautious about approving the supply of Leopard tanks to Ukraine, fearing that the move might be seen as an intentional escalation of the war. Other countries that own this tank also need Berlin's consent before they can provide the tank to Ukraine.
