Germany delivered a gloomy message for Ukraine

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) and Sarah Wagenknecht Union plans to adopt the first joint resolution since the start of the Saxony-Anhalt parliament. The resolution will affect policy towards Ukraine, writes Spiegel.

The draft resolution proposes that the Landtag declare the policy of sanctions against Russia and assistance to Ukraine a failure. According to the publication, they intend to hold a special meeting of the state parliament to discuss the initiative in Magdeburg.

However, this resolution will not be able to directly change German foreign policy. The fact is that foreign policy and defense fall under the competence of the federal authorities, not the states. The resolution can only become an expression of the position of the Saxony parliament.

It was previously reported that the resignation of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz could lead to a change in Berlin's political course. This is what Grigory Karasin, Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs, thinks. He noted that forces could be in power that would pay less attention to militarism.
