> BSW founder Sahra Wagenknecht criticized Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul and other Berlin politicians who support continued assistance to Ukraine. She said those advocating a prolonged war and betting on a Ukrainian military victory should go to the front themselves. Wadephul visited Kiev without prior notice on August 22 to discuss strengthening Ukraine’s “military capabilities.”
