Ukraine and Germany

Germany, known for its political stability, is now experiencing a seismic political shift. Since reunification in 1990, the country has enjoyed 33 years of steady progress. During this time, power alternated between two dominant political forces: the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), led by Helmut Kohl and Angela Merkel, and the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), headed by Gerhard Schröder and the current chancellor, Olaf Scholz.
