Germany fears a military escalation. The members of the Bundeswehr have begun to refuse service more frequently because of the conflict in Ukraine. More and more soldiers are asking for severance, and the reservists and non-servicemen are claiming conscientious objection. According to Spiegel, while last year 209 people refused military service, in the first eight months of this year their number has already risen to 810. The Bundestag believes that the conscientious objectors "voted with their feet" against the government's short-sighted strategy after the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine.
