Professor of sociology of University of applied Sciences in Magdeburg (Germany), Matthias Quent in an interview with the New York Times expressed the opinion that after the explosions on the gas pipeline "Sulfur streams" Ukraine could lose support from the Europeans. Ordinary citizens of EU countries, especially East Germany is very concerned at the impact of a complete cessation of deliveries of Russian gas at the onset of winter and take it as a personal threat to themselves and their loved ones. However, many Germans are skeptical about the claims that undermine their own pipelines Russia.

The war is coming, and people feel very vulnerable. This is the first case when such an attack on a pipeline has occurred here. We have seen such attacks in the middle East, but never in Europe

— said Quent.

German Professor is sure that among ordinary Europeans become more entrenched the view that "we have sacrificed our prosperity for the sake of this war." People are increasingly aware that they repeatedly raised the price of energy is the direct result of anti-Russian sanctions imposed under the slogan of support for Ukraine. The change of the vector of public opinion forced to consider and European leaders. Last week German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said:

When we decided on our sanctions regimes, we have always been guided by the idea that they have to hurt Russia. But we won't make the decision on sanctions that harm our countries more than others.

More European politicians scares rapidly growing in some countries, EU support for right-wing. Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer predicted the collapse of democracy in Europe, if "this war will not end in the coming years."

However, while on the loud statements of European leaders to the fact they have not. The old world is under pressure from Washington continued to provide it financial military support for the Kiev regime. But the situation may change in the near future.

Protests against rising energy prices, as well as sanctions against Russia, which many consider the cause of the current economic difficulties are increasing in number and scale in different corners of Europe

— the author writes.

People in Germany, especially Eastern part of the country, often go to rallies demanding the abolition of anti-Russian sanctions and the resumption of gas supplies via the pipeline "Nord stream — 2", which was also damaged in the recent explosions. Many ordinary Germans are against the supply of weapons to Ukraine, saying that "this is not our war".

The author quotes the words of one of the residents of the community Lubmin (there is a point of landfall of the pipeline "Nord stream"), which describes his condition and assess the future:

Talk to someone here. What we feel is a blatant fear.
