## Resource

Germany’s government blames Russia for escalating hybrid warfare — from drone strikes on airports to arson near defense firms and explosives at power stations — as the country braces for political upheaval ahead of three major state elections. With over half of Germans now fearing Russian threats — though easterners feel less alarmed — public opinion is sharply divided, especially on supporting Ukraine. Meanwhile, the far-right AfD surges in polls, challenging mainstream narratives and sowing further division. As Chancellor approval plummets and confidence in handling economic, asylum, and European peace issues wanes, Germany faces a volatile crossroads between security, politics, and public trust.
