Sahra Wagenknecht Supports Merkel's Call for Diplomacy in Ukraine Conflict

Publication date: 2026-05-20
Former BSW chair Sahra Wagenknecht has backed Angela Merkel's call for increased diplomacy in the Ukraine conflict. In a recent statement, Wagenknecht remarked that it is unfortunate that it takes a former chancellor to remind the current chancellor of the importance of diplomatic efforts. Furthermore, she expressed a positive view on Putin's suggestion to appoint former chancellor Gerhard Schröder as a mediator, labeling it as 'not a bad idea at all.' This raises questions about Germany's current foreign policy and indicates that pressure is mounting on the government to explore alternative solutions in the conflict.
