The German government has passed a draft bill to implement voluntary military service, which could lead to achieving recruitment targets set by the German government. According to the German government, the proposal aims to help double the number of reserve soldiers, which currently stands at 180,000, and encourage some volunteers to begin active military careers. In the background of the decision, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz referred to the war between Russia and Ukraine and said, "Russia will remain the security threat to Europe for a very long time."
