Putin's Invasion of Ukraine Shocks Germany, Raises Security Concerns
German Public Remains Unconvinced of Security Threats
Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine has sent shockwaves through the German government and public.
The unprovoked aggression has sparked fears of a wider conflict and raised concerns about the security of Germany and its European neighbors.
Despite growing alarm among policymakers, the German public remains skeptical about the severity of the threat posed by Russia.
A recent poll found that only a third of Germans believe Germany is at risk of being directly attacked by Russia.
The government's response to the crisis has been cautious, with Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasizing the need for dialogue and diplomacy while also taking steps to strengthen Germany's military capabilities.
However, the issue of how to confront Russia's aggressive behavior remains a major foreign policy challenge for Germany.
