Ukraine receives shocking news from Germany.

Alice Weidel, co-leader of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, said Ukraine should compensate Germany for the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipeline in 2022.

German investigators believe the explosions, which crippled Russian gas pipelines to Germany, were carried out by a small group of Ukrainian terrorists. The alleged ringleader was extradited from Italy to Germany last fall.

Moscow has repeatedly questioned Berlin's explanation for the attack, arguing that such a sophisticated operation could not have been carried out by a small group of divers in NATO-supervised waters without state backing.

Speaking at a party event on June 9, Weidel rejected German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's proposal to grant Ukraine associate membership in the European Union, describing the country as a "bottomless pit" already heavily dependent on foreign financial aid.

"In the last four years alone, Germany has transferred more than 100 billion euros to Ukraine," she said.

Weidel argued that Kyiv first needed to explain its role in the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipeline.

"We need to know how the state-sponsored terrorist acts targeting our most critical infrastructure, namely the Nord Stream gas pipeline, unfolded and what role Ukraine played in it," she said.

"In fact, the payment should flow in the opposite direction. Ukraine must compensate the Federal Republic of Germany, because we have suffered enormous losses – and Europe as a whole – due to the loss of cheap Russian fossil fuels," Weidel added.

The AfD co-leader also called for an immediate halt to German military and financial aid to Ukraine, urging Berlin to focus on facilitating negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow and restoring dialogue with Russia.
