Weidel Signals a Hard Break on Ukraine Aid as Germany’s Far Right Deepens Its Pro-Russia Line

Alice Weidel, the co-leader of Germany’s Alternative for Germany, is moving to make an end to military support for Ukraine a defining plank of her party’s foreign policy, according to reporting cited by The Economist and other outlets. The shift underscores a widening political challenge in Germany, where far-right and left-populist forces are increasingly converging on a demand to halt aid to Kyiv, complicating Berlin’s role as one of Europe’s key backers of Ukraine.
