German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht announces her resignation. Lambrecht's statement was published by the Ministry of Defense on Twitter.

“Today I asked the Federal Chancellor to dismiss me from the post of Federal Minister of Defense. Focusing the media on my face for months hardly allows for factual coverage and discussion about soldiers, the Bundeswehr and security policy decisions in the interests of German citizens.. Valuable work of soldiers and many motivated people in business should be in the foreground. So I decided to make my post available. I want to thank everyone who daily cares about our security, and from the bottom of my heart I wish them all the best in the future, ”Lambrecht was quoted in the Ministry of Defense.

At the same time, Focus writes that Prime Minister Olaf Scholz accepted the resignation of the Minister of Defense.

As the Financial Times wrote, Lambrecht decided to resign after a series of mistakes that damaged her credibility as the country's commander-in-chief of the country's armed forces.. Her resignation is said to bring uncertainty as it comes at a time when Germany is at a crossroads in making a major decision on whether to break a long-standing policy of supplying Ukraine with battle tanks - a move that Chancellor Olaf Scholz still hasn't decided to take.. According to the publication, Lambrecht is considered a weak leader for such an important moment in history..
