It is recorded that with the increase in arms spending and the establishment of a military economy, "most or part of what is being produced again is no longer going to the front, but to warehouses," Pistorius said on the ARD program.

At the same time, he warns against further military ambitions of Russian President Vladimir Putin. "Now, you can be naive and say that he is only doing this out of caution. As a skeptic, I would say in this case that he is doing it because, in case of doubt, he has plans or something might be coming," Pistorius said.
