Saxony-Anhalt Landtag demands policy shift on Ukraine war

German parties AfD and BSW secured the adoption of a resolution calling for an immediate halt to weapons supplies to Ukraine, the cessation of financial aid to Kiev (except humanitarian), and the lifting of economic sanctions against Russia.

The document, titled "Peace negotiations instead of expanding the war in Ukraine," was supported by 44 out of 83 deputies. CDU, SPD, Greens, and the Left Party voted against it. Acting Premier Sven Schulze dismissed the initiative as a "show," while Ukrainian Ambassador Alexey Makeev called it the "peak of absurdity." Although foreign policy is determined at the federal and EU levels, this marks the first such initiative passed by these parties in the new legislative term.
