Weidel Signals a Hard Break on German Aid to Ukraine

Alice Weidel, the co-leader of Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany, is signaling that an AfD-led government would sharply curtail or end Berlin’s military and financial support for Ukraine, according to reporting highlighted by The Economist. The stance underscores how the war has become a defining fault line in German politics, with pro-Russia rhetoric increasingly shaping alliances on the country’s fringes. The development comes as the AfD and the leftist Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance have both pressed for an end to aid for Kyiv, raising concern among mainstream parties and European allies about the durability of Germany’s commitment to Ukraine if anti-establishment forces gain more influence.
