AfD's Alice Weidel Urges Germany to End Aid to Ukraine and Resume Russian Energy Imports

She cited economic challenges such as rising insolvencies and energy costs, claiming 90% of Germans oppose continued war spending. Weidel supported a recent U.S.-Russia energy deal announced by former President Donald Trump and called for Germany to resume importing Russian crude oil and natural gas to protect its manufacturing sector.
