Saxony-Anhalt elections: Russia's optimism and Ukraine's concern

The Alternative for Germany, a right-wing populist party, presents a historic opportunity to break political isolation and lead a government in the state of Saxony-Anhalt for the first time since its founding 13 years ago. The party is leading in polls by a significant margin, amid expectations that it will win the upcoming election scheduled for September 6, 2026. Russia and Ukraine are closely monitoring the results, as Moscow seeks to support the party's victory to advance its national interests in Germany, especially given Kyiv's warnings about the potential impact on aid to Ukraine and the resumption of relations with Russia. The party advocates for restarting programs with Moscow, alarming Ukrainians and the German government. If the party wins, it could pose a major challenge to European and German support for Ukraine, seen as a setback for Western aid policies to Kyiv in Germany.
