This was stated by the leader of the German AfD party (the second largest faction in the Bundestag), Alice Weidel.

She also criticized Chancellor Merz for financial support to Ukraine.

In an interview with the public broadcaster ARD, Weidel noted that the German government could reduce the cost of electricity for citizens by abolishing the tax of 5.4 billion euros per year. However, instead, larger amounts are being directed to Kyiv.

"Our state, the government of Friedrich Merz, allocates nine billion from German taxes to Ukraine and now plans to purchase Patriot missiles for Ukraine for five billion. This is no longer understandable to anyone," Weidel said.

She did not specify whether the five billion would be spent only on the missiles or also on the launchers. The German authorities have not previously disclosed exact amounts.
