TikTok activity has greatest impact on Petropavlivska Borshchahivka events – presidential adviser

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. Weidel's claim was based on a video showing the teenager being escorted out of the building in shock, leading to speculation and outrage from both Ukrainian and German officials.
