In my attempt right now, I do get many articles about Ukraine, but every single one of them includes the word "Germany" in some form. I belief this is an effect of Google News emphasising recency in its ranking algorithm. Interestingly, your complaint is almost the opposite of the one often made on HN, namely that people would prefer a somewhat dumber but very literal search interface. It also shows why that wish's fulfilment might end up disappointing people: In the snippets I get, "Germany" gets included in these articles in all sorts of irrelevant ways, including navigational links that really aren't part of the story ec.
