German Chancellor Merz admits far-right voters question support for Kyiv | DW News

Germany's support for Ukraine has become a key political battleground. Polls show many AfD voters are critical of aid to Kyiv. AfD lead candidate Ulrich Siegmund told DW Chief Political Editor Michaela Küfner that good relations with Russia are just as important as ties with the US. Chancellor Friedrich Merz, meanwhile, defended continued support for Ukraine, while acknowledging the need to better explain why it matters for Germany's security and Western values.
