The co-chair of the AfD considered the mistake of the West the refusal to consolidate the neutral status of Ukraine

“We must not forget the situation in which this conflict arose,” RIA Novosti quotes her words on the air of the ZDF TV channel.

Weidel stressed that Moscow had been warning for a long time that it was not ready to accept Kyiv's integration into NATO.

Western countries, she said, ignored this red line, thereby making a mistake.

Earlier, the leader of the Alternative for Germany, Tino Khrupalla, called on the German authorities to abandon anti-Russian sanctions, calling the current policy senseless.

In turn, the American socio-political observer Ann Coulter commented on the Russian special operation by saying that Western countries have humiliated Russia for too long.
