AfD Kompakt, April 26, 2022.
The motion of the CDU and the CSU for the delivery of heavy
weapons to the Ukraine is incendiary. It is a further step in a dangerous
over-bidding competition which threatens to ever further draw Germany into the
war. At the same time, the implementation of the Union’s motion would
additionally weaken the Bundeswehr, since many of the demanded weapons shall
initially be delivered from the Bundeswehr’s stocks.
The AfD’s position is clear: We fundamentally reject the
delivery of weapons to the war zone. We must avoid all which contributes to
that the war in the Ukraine becomes a widespread conflagration, and a military
and thus an atomic confrontation of NATO with Russia.
Instead of always speaking of new weapons deliveries, the
Federal government needs to now start a broadly disposed diplomatic initiative,
the purpose of which must be peace talks between the Ukraine and Russia under
international mediation.
