🇩🇪 The German left-wing chancellor candidate, Sahra Wagenknecht, has called for lifting sanctions against Russia and maintaining the import of Russian gas.  

In her view, the U.S. sanctions policy has nothing to do with the Ukrainian conflict and is solely aimed at boosting the American economy.  

Wagenknecht also described Washington's restrictions on Russia as a "program to kill German and European companies," as quoted by Die Zeit.  

It is worth noting that Wagenknecht also advocates for banning the supply of German weapons to Ukraine.
