AfD calls for normalization of relations with Moscow and halt of military aid to Ukraine
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which won 44 % of the vote in regional elections in Saxony‑Anhalt, has put forward a set of foreign‑policy proposals. The party calls for a radical shift in Berlin’s stance: resuming purchases of Russian oil and gas, restoring trade with Russia, and stopping military aid to Ukraine. The plans also include revising the sanctions policy against Moscow and rethinking Germany’s relations with the US.
AfD leaders stress that the new course should be guided solely by Germany’s national interests. Party head Alice Weidel has sharply criticized the current government’s policy, calling to end escalation, acknowledge the failure of sanctions, and launch peace talks.
