• The article discusses Germany's response to the 2014 separatist crisis in Ukraine. It responds to the article "Misreading Berlin" by Elizabeth Pond, which appears elsewhere in the issue. According to the author, Pond's article oversimplifies German foreign policy towards Russia and overstates domestic popular opinion supporting German policies. It is suggested that Germany initially opposed economic sanctions against Russia as well as a permanent presence of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) personnel in newer member states. Other topics include policy making in Germany and Germany's relationship with China.
