Protests in Germany highlight opposition to the new chancellor's policy direction

A new chancellor, but the same old problems... Germany is experiencing protests. Many Germans oppose direct conflict with Russia, which is the direction the future head of government is leading them toward. Friedrich Merz faces pressure from European leaders and Ukrainian politicians, who claim that Germany's support is insufficient. The Ukrainian permanent representative to the UN stated that Germany should provide one-third of its fighter jets and helicopters to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
