AfD Kompakt, June 28,
2022.
Hungary’s attitude towards the war in the
Ukraine coincides in many points with the view of the AfD delegation in the
German Bundestag. Similar to Hungary, we draw the lesson from history that
Germany needs do everything so as to avoid a direct confrontation with Russia.
In no case may we let ourselves be drawn into this war, even if the more
intelligible way is in the interest of the Ukraine and of the Ukrainian
President Selenskiy. The AfD delegation expresses itself as opposed to weapons
deliveries to the Ukraine. This alters nothing of that Russia’s war against the
Ukraine is unjustified and cruel. Yet we need clearly say: This war is not our
war. Our freedom is not affected by this war. In regards this dispute, it is
much more a question of a post-Czarist or post-Soviet war than an after-effect
of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
We may in no case permit that the strategic balance in Europe is fundamentally altered as a result of this war and thus the spore of further conflicts be sown. A future European order of peace without an equally entitled inclusion [gleichberechtigte Einbeziehung] of Russia will have no stability and will cause new harm.
