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. #ukrainewar #afd #dwcurrentaffairs Chapters: 00:00 AfD election win puts Ukraine support in focus 01:31 Why some German voters oppose aid to Ukraine 03:16 Could Germany's Ukraine policy come under pressure? 04:19 Merz: Germany will keep backing Ukraine 08:29 The link between Ukraine's security and Germany's security For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwnews ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenew
