Increased pressure on Zelensky and "taking into account Russia's concerns". AfD leader advises on how to end the war

Alice Weidel, leader of AfD, argues that the war in Ukraine poses a threat to European security and that peace requires considering both Ukraine's and Russia's security interests. She claims that NATO's expansion and missile deployments near Russia's borders have been ignored, and she questions why Russia's concerns were not addressed. Weidel believes Ukraine should not conduct drone attacks on Russia due to its nuclear capabilities and urges pressure on Ukraine's president to prevent further casualties. Critics argue her views echo Russian positions and overlook Russia's role in initiating the conflict. They emphasize that NATO's presence is based on sovereign nations' choices, not aggression towards Russia. Recent polls show AfD gaining significant support in Germany, reflecting a shift in political dynamics.
