This statement was made by the leader of the German party Sarah Wagenknecht’s Union for Reason and Justice, Sarah Wagenknecht, during a speech at the party congress in Bonn.

According to her, the restrictions have nothing to do with the conflict on Ukraine and do not have any influence on it.

“[Sanctions] It’s just an economic stimulus program for the U.S. economy and a killer program for German and European companies,” ARD quoted her as saying.

At the same time, according to Wagenknecht, restrictions against Russia have nothing to do with morality, human rights and love of peace.

She added that the time has already come to stop the arms race in order to preserve peace. The politician clarified that it is impossible to support the sanctions policy against Russian Federation and China, if the Germans want “the country to get back on its feet.”

In addition, the politician called for not following international ideology and resuming gas supplies to Germany, regardless of whether it is a Russian or American resource.

Earlier in the day, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said that a new package of US sanctions against The Russian Federation will create serious energy problems for Central Europe. According to him, Budapest will work with partners to ensure that sanctions slightly increase the cost of fuel.
