Asked whether Ukraine should fear a reduction in German aid given that parties demanding a cut in aid have won the elections to the parliaments of Saxony and Thuringia, Pistorius said that Germany does not intend to cut military support.
"We are talking about results that no democrat can be satisfied with. This applies to the results of the AfD and our own results. But it is also clear that we are talking about about 10% of eligible citizens who went to the ballot box. The picture of the majority in Germany is still different, and we are working to ensure that it remains so," the minister added.
