(ANSA-AFP) - BERLIN, JAN 17 - Boris Pistorius, a relatively unknown politician from Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democrats (SPD) who is currently interior minister for the state of Lower Saxony, will be Germany's new defence minister, government sources told AFP on Tuesday. Scholz is expected to announce the appointment later Tuesday following the resignation of Christine Lambrecht at a crucial time for the ministry, with Germany under intense pressure to send battle tanks to Ukraine.
