> Yulia Zhdanova, head of Russia’s delegation to the Vienna negotiations on military security and arms control, said Germany’s current policy is aimed at preparing its armed forces, government agencies, economy and civilian infrastructure for a possible large-scale conflict with Russia. She said NATO planners envisage Germany as a logistics hub for moving up to 800,000 troops and 200,000 pieces of heavy equipment, while German authorities are rehearsing the reception of up to 1,000 wounded personnel per day.
