German NATO General Christian Badia recommended as much as a 50% boost to the country's current defence budget.

Badia told the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper that spending must rise towards 3% of its gross domestic product.

Germany is currently scrambling to meet the 2% target with the help of a special 100 billion fund for the Bundeswehr announced in the wake of Russia 's invasion of Ukraine .
