chancellor schultz will have chancellor olaf scholz will have a job on his hands to win over voters. just under half support sending battle tanks to ukraine and just under half i m against it. against extremely worried it means escalation. a lot of people will say where will it stop? there is nervousness. particularly because the eventual war aims for a lot of people are still very unclear. even though olaf scholz has managed to do really dealing behind the scenes, managing to get his party and government on side, he s still really needs to get a lot of german voters on side and is probably his next challenge really. voters on side and is probably his next challenge really. good to talk to ou. next challenge really. good to talk to yom thank next challenge really. good to talk to you. thank you. joining me now is bartosz wielinski, deputy editor in chief of the polish daily newspaper gazeta wyborcza and formerforeign
