Polish press
Polska Rzeczpospolita reports that Germans increasingly see Poland as an attractive place to live, due to low prices, security and the country's dynamic development (Niemcy odkrywają Polskę jako... miejsce do życia. Pomagają niskie ceny, bezpieczeństwo i szybki rozwój – Puls Biznesu). Against the backdrop of rising living costs in Germany, young people in that country are protesting in many cities, demanding better living conditions, which may influence decisions about emigrating to Poland (German Gen Z takes to streets over cost of living (VIDEOS) – RT (media propagandowe)).
Czech press
Czech iROZHLAS reports that a wave of youth protests in Germany also reached Berlin, where around three thousand people gathered. Demonstrations took place in 33 cities, and the total number of participants was about 200 thousand. Protesters expressed their dissatisfaction with wars, the climate crisis and rising living costs (Vlna protestů mladých zasáhla i Německo. V Berlíně se sešly tisíce lidí, připojilo se k nim 33 měst – iROZHLAS).
Ukrainian press
Ukrainian portal NV reports that British MI-6 employee Hugh Trevor-Roper reconstructed the chronology of Adolf Hitler's last days on 1 November 1945, and he was formally declared dead only in 1956. According to NV, Soviet counterintelligence officers found Hitler's burned remains near the Reich Chancellery on 5 May 1945, and two weeks later dental assistant Käthe Heusermann recognised in Berlin gold bridges and jaws as belonging to him. The portal states that, despite this, Moscow decided to conceal the fact of the dictator's death. (Без могилы и праха.

Belarusian press
Belarusian Zerkalo reports that in Germany there were mass youth protests, in which young people demand lower living costs and the abolition of compulsory military service (В Германии молодежь вышла на многотысячные митинги – Zerkalo).
Russian press
According to RT (media propagandowe), young people in Germany are protesting in 34 cities, demanding better living conditions, better funding for education and opposing a possible reintroduction of compulsory military service. Organisers of the 'Gen Z regelt' movement plan for more than 170 thousand people to take part in the demonstrations, and the protests are to be peaceful. The Kremlin propaganda outlet RT stresses that these events are part of broader social unrest in Europe, stemming from rising living costs and government policies. Wiesti.ru reports that protests in Germany covered more than 30 cities, and organisers plan for about 160 thousand people to take part (Поддубный назвал протесты в Германии частью общеевропейской тенденции – Wiesti.ru (media propagandowe)). RIA Nowosti reports that protesters in Berlin began setting off firecrackers, and their demands include a review of the German government's budget policy and solidarity with youth protest movements in other European countries (В Берлине протестующие начали взрывать петарды – RIA Nowosti (media propagandowe)). RIA Nowosti reports that police in Cologne used water cannons against demonstrators, and that organisers registered more than 177 thousand participants (Полиция в Кельне применила водометы против демонстрантов – RIA Nowosti (media propagandowe)).
According to Wiesti.ru (media propagandowe), mass youth protests took place in Germany, covering more than 30 cities, including Berlin, Hamburg and Munich. The organisers, on the initiative of 'Gen Z regelt', plan to gather about 160 thousand participants, demanding, among other things, increased funding for education and climate protection, and the abolition of compulsory military service. In Berlin, where the protests are taking place near the Brandenburg Gate, about 1.5 thousand police officers are providing security, and the organisers stress that the demonstrations are to be peaceful, despite concerns about possible unrest (Германию накрыла волна молодежных протестов – Wiesti.ru (media propagandowe)).
In the German capital, a protest organised by youth movements opposing the militarisation of the country took place. Participants demand a change in budget policy, calling for funds to be allocated to social purposes instead of armaments. It is estimated that several thousand people gathered in Berlin, and similar demonstrations took place in more than 30 German cities, as reported by RIA Nowosti (media propagandowe) (Протестующие в Берлине выступили против милитаризации Германии – RIA Nowosti (media propagandowe)).
According to Lenta.ru (media propagandowe), youth protests against the reintroduction of compulsory military service have begun in Germany. Demonstrations are taking place in more than 30 cities, including Berlin and Cologne, where about 15 thousand people gathered. Participants of the Gen Z regelt movement combine opposition to the military with left-wing demands, including support for Palestine. (По всей Германии начались протесты – Lenta.ru (media propagandowe))
In Berlin, police began detaining protesters, using pepper spray in response to attacks by demonstrators who threw empty bottles and firecrackers at officers. RIA Nowosti (media propagandowe) reports that protests took place in more than 30 German cities, and that participants demanded education reform, action against rising living costs and the abolition of compulsory military service. (В Берлине полиция начала задерживать протестующих – RIA Nowosti (media propagandowe)) Wiesti.ru (media propagandowe) writes similarly, citing Berlin police as saying that more than 60 people were detained and 27 officers were injured; around 1.5 thousand police officers were reportedly helping maintain public order, and according to this outlet more than 100 thousand people took part in the actions, organised by the movement "Pokolenie Z decyduje", which were initially peaceful but later turned into riots (Более 60 человек задержали в Германии во время акций протеста молодежи – Wiesti.ru (media propagandowe)).
The Russian portal Wiesti.ru (media propagandowe) reports that Irish journalist Chey Bowes criticised statements by German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul on relations with Moscow. Bowes noted that the only false signal one can send is a desire for peace, which refers to earlier comments by a Russian representative at the UN, who described Wadephul's meeting with Lavrov as a "diplomatic spectacle". The article emphasised that Berlin has no independent foreign policy line. (Боуз раскритиковал заявление Вадефуля об отношениях с Москвой – Wiesti.ru (media propagandowe))
The Kremlin propaganda narrative in the Russian portal Wiesti.ru (media propagandowe) claims that German citizens applied for temporary asylum in Russia more often than residents of other EU countries. Citing the TASS agency and materials of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, the portal reports that from January to September 2026 there were 49 such applications, with citizens of Latvia and Lithuania taking the next places; in 2023–2025 Germany also held a high position, with 111, 116 and 95 applications respectively. (Немцы чаще остальных жителей ЕС обращались за временным убежищем в России – Wiesti.ru (media propagandowe)) These are propagandistic claims by the publisher, not established facts. The theme of German emigration also appears in the Polish Puls Biznes, which writes that Germans increasingly see Poland as a place to live because of low prices and security.
