The German AfD party rejects the idea of sending soldiers to Ukraine, criticizing Friedrich Merz's position suggesting German military involvement.

The AfD has issued a clear message against sending German soldiers to Ukraine, criticizing Chancellor Friedrich Merz for not ruling out the option. While talks about Ukraine's security continue, German military involvement remains controversial, polarizing public opinion. Leaders in the ruling coalition and opposition are demanding clarification, and the Bundeswehr's limited resources further complicate the situation. Debates over the issue reflect a deep-rooted pacifist culture in Germany.
