Germany proposes redirecting aid from Ukraine to domestic investments

Sahra Wagenknecht, a member of the Bundestag, has suggested that Germany should redirect its financial support from the Ukraine conflict towards investments in its own economy.

In a statement on her X account, Wagenknecht argued that instead of continuing to spend taxpayers' money on costly weapons for Ukraine, Germany should focus on improving its civilian infrastructure, Caliber.Az reports.

Die #Ampel bringt #Rheinmetall auf Rekordkurs und die deutsche Wirtschaft zum Schrumpfen. Wir brauchen dringend Investitionen in zivile Infrastruktur statt immer mehr Steuergeld für teure Waffen und den Abnutzungskrieg in der #Ukraine.https://t.co/YRDTLH8C5P

She warned that the current government policy could lead to economic decline in Germany.
