Germany has also taken a record number of refugees from ukraine. but the chancellor notjust the number of refugees from ukraine. but the chancellor not just the fear of russia in terms of escalation, i think he also wants to make sure that he can keep popular opinion positive in terms of supporting ukraine. because really there is no timetable for when this war is going to end. the only timetable that ukrainians are pressing is that they need the weapons now because the window is closing as russ...
