The AFD called on Merz to start a dialogue with Russia to normalize bilateral ties.

The leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Alice Weidel, on Monday, August 18, called on German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to start a dialogue with Russia to normalize bilateral relations.

According to her, the Chancellor's "euphoria" regarding NATO security guarantees for Kiev actually means sending German soldiers to the territory of Ukraine.

"Germany needs reconciliation with Russia instead of constant confrontation," Weidel wrote on the social network X.
