  As Germany is one of the most important car manufacturing countries in the world, this report will mainly focus on the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the German automotive industry, which is an important pillar of the German economy.

  On March 3, the VDA (German Association of the Automotive Industry) announced that it supports the sanctions of the EU on Russia and Belarus. The sanctions are having a huge impact on the automotive industry. According to the German news broadcast channel, N-TV, the entire automotive industry has never been as close to collective collapse in the post-war era as it is currently - not even during the oil crises and Sunday driving bans.
