Meanwhile, 42% said Germany is going too far with its weapons supplies – the highest share recorded in recent years. Support for military aid is particularly weak in eastern Germany, where a majority of respondents said arms deliveries had gone too far. The survey comes as concerns over Russia’s threat to Germany remain widespread. Some 56% of Germans said their country’s security is strongly or very strongly threatened by Russia, while 39% disagreed. Older Germans were significantly more likely to perceive Russia as a major security threat. Among those aged 65 and over, around two-thirds considered the threat very strong or strong, while respondents aged 18 to 34 were more divided. Russia was viewed as a security threat by majorities of supporters of every party represented in the Bundestag except the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). Over two-thirds of AfD supporters said they considered Germany’s security to be little or not at all threatened by Russia.
