Ukraine in the German Public View

Abstract

Although Ukraine is the largest country in Europe, it receives only scant attention. Germany’s diplomatic and cultural-political engagement in Ukraine may be relatively high. But in Germany’s media and political discourse, Ukraine is a peripheral issue. This does not do justice to Ukraine’s strategic importance.
