Germany faces anti-war protests and warnings of Russian hybrid warfare
The anti-war alliance 'Rheinmetall entwaffnen' has launched a six-day protest camp in Cologne, Germany. Participants are demonstrating against military rearmament and federal social spending cuts. Spokesperson Camille Dietrich argued that the threat of a Russian invasion of Germany is exaggerated and criticized the government for prioritizing military spending over social services like education and healthcare.
Separately, risk analyst Nico Lange has warned that Germany is facing ongoing hybrid warfare from Russia. He cited a recent incident at Leipzig airport, where a drone containing explosives was discovered targeting a Ukrainian military aircraft. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that the government will hold the perpetrators of such hybrid attacks accountable.
