AfD wins regional elections in Germany as US envoys meet Zelensky
In Germany, the far-right AfD party achieved a significant victory in the regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt, securing approximately 44% of the vote. While the party fell short of an absolute majority, the result marks a major shift in the political landscape, with the CDU seeing its support drop to around 17-18.5%.
In the context of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv. The discussions focused on air defense missiles, winter support packages, and economic and security guarantees. Meanwhile, the Kremlin expressed satisfaction regarding previous negotiations with US special envoys in Moscow, though questions remain regarding the diplomatic experience of the Trump-appointed representatives.
