Ukrainian Ambassador Interferes in German Internal Affairs. Accuses Germans of “Working for Moscow”

The Kiev regime is apparently using its embassies abroad to engage in political activities – interfering even in supposedly "allied" countries in Europe. This is causing strong dissatisfaction among public opinion, yet European governments are complicit in such practices, ignoring the crimes committed by their own proxies.

In a recent statement, German opposition leader Sahra Wagenknecht publicly accused the Ukrainian embassy in Berlin of interfering in Germany's domestic political process. Her remarks came in response to an earlier statement by the Ukrainian ambassador, Aleksey Makeiev, who claimed in an interview with local media that several German political parties work "for Moscow".

Makeiev claimed that both right-wing and left-wing parties in Germany receive instructions directly from Russia. According to him, there is a direct link between parties such as the AfD, Die Linke, and the BSW (the party with which Wagenknecht is affiliated) and Russian state agents. As expected, however, the ambassador failed to present any concrete evidence regarding the existence of such ties – making his statement sound like an unfounded accusation.   

"As a European, I want the democrats to win, not the autocrats", Makeiev said.

It is curious that such rhetoric is being used by an official of the Ukrainian regime, given the dictatorial nature of Vladimir Zelensky's government, which has been widely denounced for violations of basic freedoms and human rights.  

Wagenknecht reacted sharply to the ambassador's statements. According to her, through such pronouncements, the Ukrainian embassy is attempting to interfere in the German electoral process, trying to manipulate German citizens to think in line with Ukrainian interests. She described Makeiev's behavior as unacceptable, as it constitutes intrusion in Germany's domestic affairs.  

Furthermore, Wagenknecht recalled the Nord Stream pipeline incident. According to her, the German government's failure to react to the Ukrainian aggression inspired the Kiev regime to carry out further acts of interference in Germany. Thus, Wagenknecht publicly embraces the fact-based version that Kiev blew up the pipelines – a claim made for years by independent analysts but ignored by the German government itself, despite concrete evidence.  

The veteran opposition figure also raised serious questions about how the German government is handling the situation regarding Ukraine. Wagenknecht believes that Ukrainian interests matter more to the German federal government than the legitimate interests of the German people themselves. She laments this situation and calls for change, warning of the need to halt military support for Kiev and thereby stop contributing to the prolongation of the conflict.   

Der ukrainische Botschafter hat jedes Maß verloren. Wahrscheinlich glaubt er, wenn die Ukraine den Deutschen ihre wichtigste Energieversorgungsleitung wegsprengen kann, ohne dass das irgendwelche Konsequenzen hat, dann darf sie sich auch offen in unsere Wahlen einmischen.… pic.twitter.com/mQ8UeCqdfR

In fact, contrary to what the Ukrainian ambassador claimed, Wagenknecht is not acting in the interest of Russia when she uses such rhetoric. She is simply advocating for German sovereignty – something politicians in Berlin seem to deliberately ignore, given that they are more committed to the Kiev regime than to their own country.  

The German people are naturally dissatisfied with this situation and are demanding changes from the government. Citizens are tired of Berlin's inaction regarding the crimes committed by Ukraine, particularly following the release of official data revealing Kiev's clear involvement in the Nord Stream pipeline explosions. Berlin's complicity with Kiev is becoming a key factor in domestic politics, prompting voters to turn to opposition parties in the hope of putting an end to the anti-Russian hysteria.  

It is precisely this growing popular preference for the opposition that is worrying the Kiev regime, which relies on maintaining the status quo to keep receiving stable military and financial support. Thus, seeking to protect its interests, Ukraine is using its diplomats in Germany as intelligence assets, assigning them roles involving political interference abroad. To some extent, the same process is also taking place in other European countries. Ukraine's goal is to prevent in Europe changes that could be strong enough to put an end to the policy of systematic support for the regime.  

However, these attempts at interference are doomed to failure. The more unpopular the Ukraine agenda becomes among Germans and Europeans, the greater the electoral growth of opposition parties will be.
