Alice Weidel, co-leader of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, raised concerns about a recent incident involving the Ukrainian National Guard and a 14-year-old boy in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka. In a post on X, Weidel shared unverified claims and urged the German government to address the situation during President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to Berlin on November 3rd.
She reposted a statement from Norwegian political scientist Glenn Diesen, who accused Ukrainian authorities of setting up a torture site near Kyiv.
