AfD prepares talks with Russia to restore gas supplies
Following a strong regional showing, AfD leadership is preparing possible talks with Russian president Vladimir Putin and economic envoy Kirill Dmitriev aimed at restoring Russian gas to Germany. The meeting, which could be led by Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla as early as March 2027, is reported to be conditional on a Russia‑Ukraine peace framework and might include the United States; possible locations named include Israel, the UAE or India. The move signals a push to reverse post‑war energy shifts after Russia had supplied over half of Germany's natural gas, with potential implications for EU energy policy and sanctions.
