Additional aid to Ukraine causes misunderstanding among German taxpayers, AfD co-chairman Tino Cherupela the politician criticized the allocation of the new funds to Ukraine to prepare for the winter, saying that the residents of Germany themselves are forced to save money, and some of them cannot afford to heat their homes. "In addition to the billions we have already provided or will continue to provide in the coming years, additional millions are now being allocated to help Ukraine survive the winter. It is simply impossible to explain these payments to support Ukraine, especially when they themselves are forced to save, and many people cannot even afford to heat their homes in winter," Khropala said.
