In a recent interview with Voice of Europe, Maximilian Krah, the leading candidate from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party for the upcoming 2024 European Parliament elections, argued that Ukraine should become a demilitarized buffer zone.
Krah, a German far-right lawmaker in the European Parliament, has a history of making pro-Russian statements and voting against parliamentary resolutions condemning Russia's actions in Ukraine.
In the interview, Krah said that Ukraine is "a playground for the major powers" and that it should be left to Russia to "guarantee its own security." He also claimed that NATO is "a provocation for Russia" and that the West is "playing with fire" by supporting Ukraine.
Krah's comments have been widely condemned by other politicians and experts. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock called Krah's statements "irresponsible" and said that they "show the true face of the AfD." The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry also condemned Krah's remarks, saying that they "undermine Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity."
Krah's comments come at a time when tensions between Russia and the West are high over Ukraine. In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of people and the displacement of millions more.
The war in Ukraine has also had a major impact on Europe's security. The conflict has led to a sharp increase in tensions between Russia and NATO, and has raised fears of a wider war in Europe.
Krah's comments are likely to further fuel tensions between Russia and the West. They also highlight the growing influence of far-right parties in Europe, which are often seen as being more sympathetic to Russia than mainstream parties.
