AfD Reportedly Pushing for Full Normalization of Relations With Russia
German newspaper Bild reports that the Alternative for Germany party is also seeking an end to military aid for Ukraine, according to unnamed sources cited by TASS.
Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is seeking the full normalization of relations with Russia, the German newspaper Bild reported, according to the Russian state news agency TASS.
Sources told Bild that the party is also pushing for an end to military assistance to Ukraine, TASS reported, citing the newspaper.
The report did not specify further details about the sources, the scope of the AfD's proposed policy, or any timeline for such a shift. TASS's account of the Bild report did not include direct quotes from AfD officials or an official party statement on the matter.
The AfD, a right-wing party that has gained significant support in recent German elections, has previously expressed skepticism toward Western sanctions on Russia and continued military support for Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict.
This report could not be independently verified, and Bild's original article was not immediately accessible for direct review. Reuters and other international outlets had not confirmed the report at the time of this publication.
