N-TV reports on regular rallies and pickets in East Germany against the expansion of anti-Russian sanctions. According to journalists, the protesters call these restrictions more harmful to the German economy than to Russia, demanding their abolition. In addition, the TV channel quotes experts, the lack of basic trust in the democratic system in Germany also increases the discontent of the population.
