Germany should stop financing an “already lost war” in Ukraine, says Alice Weidel. The co-leader of the populist-right Alternative for Germany, speaks to Zanny Minton Beddoes, The Economist’s editor-in-chief. Weidel argues that peace requires taking Russia’s security interests into account, that Europe is heading for a bond-market crisis and that Syrians, Afghans–and eventually Ukrainians–have to leave Germany. #europe #germany #ukraine #war #russia 00:00 - Is Russia a threat to Europe? 01:05 - “An already lost war”: Weidel on Ukraine 03:27 - Does Putin want peace? 05:01 - Europe’s coming debt crisis 06:37 - The AfD’s plan for migrants Watch the full show: http://bit.ly/4jozhN6 Sign up to the Insider newsletter: https://econ.st/4nOyzIb Subscribe to The Economist: https://www.economist.com/subscribe Download our app: https://www.economist.com/get-the-app Follow The Economist on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theeconomist/ Follow The Economist on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheEconomist Follow The Economist on X: https://x.com/TheEconomist
