BERLIN — Alternative for Germany (AfD) co-leader Alice Weidel launched a fierce parliamentary attack against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, calling for an immediate end to Berlin’s financial and military aid to Ukraine while backing a newly announced U.S.-Russia energy agreement. Addressing the Bundestag, Weidel asserted that 90 percent of German voters oppose continued expenditure on the war effort, citing mounting domestic economic distress, rising corporate insolvencies, and high energy costs. Her scathing remarks came shortly after former U.S. President Donald Trump announced a deal with Moscow to release hundreds of thousands of tonnes of Russian diesel into global markets, a development Weidel seized upon to demand that Germany resume direct imports of Russian crude oil and natural gas to shield its manufacturing base from further decline.
