In Germany, "Putin's friends" call to stop military aid to Ukraine

Bundestag member Sahra Wagenknecht suggested that Berlin should "immediately" stop military aid to Kyiv if Moscow ceases fire and starts peace talks. In her opinion, the request of German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck and Defense Minister Boris Pistorius for 3 billion euros to support Ukraine is "irresponsible."

The 55-year-old politician is the leader of the far-left Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance party. In an interview with the Funke Media Group, the MP said that the arms supplies allegedly did not improve Ukraine's position.

"We should offer Russia to immediately stop supplying weapons if Russia agrees to a ceasefire on the current front line and the start of peace talks," Wagenknecht said.

She also strongly opposes sending German troops to Ukrainian territory to ensure a peaceful settlement.

"Ukraine needs security guarantees, but they should be provided by neutral states," Wagenknecht said. She named Brazil, China, India, and Turkey as such countries.
