On October 7, 2026, it became known that in Germany, two parties, including the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), are preparing a resolution for the local parliament calling for the cessation of aid to Ukraine and the normalization of relations with Russia.
Details of the Resolution
The resolution has been prepared by AfD and the left-populist Alliance for Social Justice and Reasonable Economy, previously known as the Alliance of Sahra Wagenknecht. Following the regional elections, these parties together hold a majority in the Landtag (local parliament) of Saxony-Anhalt.
The draft resolution includes key points such as:
- Declaring the failure of the sanctions policy against Russia;
- Demands for the federal government of Germany to stop supplying weapons and financial aid to Ukraine;
- A call for a peace policy and preventing further escalation of the conflict in Ukraine.
Next Steps
A special session of the regional parliament to discuss this resolution is scheduled for October 14. This issue has sparked significant resonance in German society and political circles, as it could substantially impact the country's foreign policy.
