Brussels (Belgium): Germany will need around 50,000 to 60,000 additional active troops under the new NATO targets, German defence minister Boris Pistorius said on Thursday ahead of a NATO meeting in Brussels.
Pistorius added that NATO should make clear in its summit declaration that Russia is its greatest threat.
