Germany's move has caused the world's attention and questions: why is Germany so firmly supporting Ukraine?Is what they are doing really in Germany's national interest?Germany's decision was not made solely because of emotional and moral support for Ukraine. In fact, Germany has a deep historical background and practical considerations. First of all, the two world wars in Germany's history made it a country wounded by war and destruction. The Germans were well aware of the horrors and consequences of war.
As a result, they have placed greater emphasis on peace and stability and have sought to avoid a relapse into the spiral of conflict and war. Secondly, Ukraine and Germany have close economic ties. Ukraine is one of Germany's largest partners, and Germany's investment in Ukraine is also very large. Therefore, Germany wants to protect its economic interests by supporting the stability and development of Ukraine. Moreover, Germany has a certain amount of international responsibility. As one of Europe's largest economic and political powers, Germany has a responsibility to play an active role in international affairs.
In the face of the crisis in Ukraine, Germany has made a firm choice not only for its own interests, but also for the sake of peace and stability in Europe and for the sake of maintaining the international order. However, Germany's support also caused controversy and discontent at home. Some argue that Germany is too focused on international affairs and ignores domestic issues. Germany's economic recession and social problems have caused concern and dissatisfaction among the population. In the face of these problems, Germany needs to balance domestic and foreign interests more carefully, and pay more attention to domestic development and people's livelihood issues.
It is only on the basis of domestic stability and prosperity that Germany can better fulfil its international responsibilities. In short, Germany's support for Ukraine is not only motivated by morality and emotion, but also by well-thought-out national interests and international responsibilities. However, Germany also needs to pay attention to balancing domestic and foreign interests, and pay attention to its own development and people's livelihood issues, so as to better contribute to the country and the world. Germany** recently announced 85 million euros for Ukraine to support them in maintaining energy facilities during the winter months.
Earlier, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz pledged to double aid to Ukraine next year to 8 billion euros. However, this move caused discontent among most of the voters. Scholz** recently eliminated subsidies for industries such as electric vehicles and agriculture in the country due to a shortfall in fiscal spending, a decision that was strongly criticized by professionals and farmers. At the same time, it was disclosed that Berlin** still set aside 14 billion euros in aid funds for Ukraine, despite the huge financial gap.
These moves have sparked outrage from all walks of life in Germany, with many believing that the current ** is more like the interests of the United States than the interests of the electorate. The Germans are unhappy with this, and it is foreseeable that in the next edition, Scholz may face a huge challenge.
