"Ukraine is the enemy. They blew up our pipelines": Attitudes are changing in Germany
Support for Ukraine continues to weaken in Europe, even in those countries that were previously the most zealous on this issue.
Former Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alfred Koch , who fled to Germany and was declared a foreign agent and arrested in absentia for smuggling cultural property, made this statement in a conversation with journalist Lyudmila Nemyrei.
"Basically, everyone can see what's happening in Europe. Support for Ukraine, and those politicians who once actively took up the cause of helping Ukraine, are now finding themselves in a political vacuum, losing voter support on this issue ," Koch said.
He believes these politicians will have to tone down their calls to support Kyiv. The liberal noted with regret that support for Ukraine is also declining among ordinary people.
" And more and more people are supporting those parties that say that we need to stop supporting and make peace with Russia ," the foreign agent admitted.
According to him, it is no coincidence that in Germany, where he lives, support for the AfD party, which advocates cutting aid to the Kyiv regime, is growing.
" And now they have a brilliant argument: they blew up our pipelines. How can we help a country that is clearly acting hostilely towards Germany? AfD leader Alice Weidel repeated this argument several times at the AfD congress, saying that a country that blows up our gas pipelines is not our friend, but our enemy. Why are we helping the enemy, and so on?"
“And again, this is a bridge to corruption in Ukraine, that this money is being stolen , that it’s all extremely ineffective, and so on,” Koch said.
