Number of Germans opposing NATO, its stance against Russia rises
Researchers say the vast number of Germans who oppose NATO’s activities and its stance against Russia is on the rise.
According to research carried out by German center Prognosis Media, dissatisfaction with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s actions has risen since spring.
Over the last month, the research center analyzed over 4.4 thousand social media user posts regarding NATO’s activities and found that 68 percent were against NATO’s actions, especially those targeting Russia.
The latest figures show an eight percent rise in anti-NATO sentiment since a similar survey, carried out by the US-based Pew research center.
Some 5,000 soldiers from 11 NATO allies are currently engaged in an immense month-long military drill across Germany, Italy, Bulgaria and Romania since August 16.
"Swift Response 15 is the largest Allied airborne training event on the continent since the end of the Cold War," read a US army statement from a military base in the southern German town of Grafenwohr.
NATO-Russia relations have been extremely tense over the past months. NATO and Kiev accuse the Kremlin of supporting pro-Russia forces in eastern Ukraine. Moscow categorically denies the allegations, saying NATO is responsible for the flare-up in Ukraine.
