Germany's response to Ukraine insufficient, nearly half of Germans say - survey
BERLIN (Reuters) - A growing percentage of Germans think the government has not done enough in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a survey showed on Thursday, as Europe's biggest economy tries to balance its economic interests against sanctions on Russia.
Some 45% view Chancellor Olaf Scholz's reaction to the invasion as insufficient, the survey by ARD-DeutschlandTrend showed.
A total of 37% believe it to be sufficient, a drop of 16 percentage points since a previous survey four weeks ago. ARD broadcaster, which published the survey, was not immediately available to explain what the rest of the survey participants said.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24 spurred Germany into reversing a deep-rooted policy of not sending weapons to conflict zones, and Berlin has supplied Kyiv with anti-tank weapons and missiles.
