German defense minister Christine Lambrecht decided to leave the post. This was reported by Bild, citing several sources.

According to sources, the initiative to abandon the post comes from Lambrecht, and not from the office. Now the issue of the exact date of resignation is being resolved.
Bild also writes that there is already a discussion who will become a successor to the post of head of the German Ministry of Defense.
The publication notes that Lambrecht has recently been criticized repeatedly. Including, due to the video published on the New Year, in which the minister congratulates everyone on the holiday against the backdrop of fireworks. In the video, she did not say anything about the war, but stated that for her she was associated with “many meetings” with “great people”.
