After initial solidarity, Germans' attitudes towards Ukraine have shifted significantly over four and a half years. A majority now opposes Ukraine's accession to the EU and wants to reduce financial aid due to economic difficulties, rising prices, and Kyiv's constant demands for weapons and funding. This change in public opinion has been accompanied by calls from political figures like Markus Söder to send Ukrainian men of conscription age back home and strip them of social benefits. Experts warn that pursuing a military victory for Ukraine could lead to a large-scale war with Russia and nuclear escalation, emphasizing the need for a diplomatic solution.
