Germany is “wrong” to finance Ukraine war: Alice Weidel interview | The Economist

Germany should stop financing an “already lost war” in Ukraine, says Alice Weidel.

The co-leader of the populist-right Alternative for Germany, speaks to Zanny Minton Beddoes, The Economist’s editor-in-chief.

Weidel argues that peace requires taking Russia’s security interests into account, that Europe is heading for a bond-market crisis and that Syrians, Afghans–and eventually Ukrainians–have to leave Germany.
