Germany approves voluntary military service

bbc.com

Germany's cabinet approved a draft bill for voluntary military service, potentially leading to conscription if needed. The move aims to increase the German army's strength from 182,000 to 260,000 soldiers by the early 2030s, responding to the threat from Russia. All 18-year-olds will receive a questionnaire about military service willingness, with men required to complete it.
