🗞 ‘A sign of the times’: Western media reacts to AfD’s JAW-DROPPING surge
The Alternative for Germany party’s election breakthrough has already grabbed global headlines. Let’s take a look.
🔹Sky News: “The AfD won a record 20.8% - its best result in a federal election since its formation in 2013.”
🔹The Financial Times: “The AfD came second, doubling its vote to achieve its highest-ever share.”
🔹The BBC: “The other big winner in Sunday's vote was the AfD, who are celebrating a record second-place result of 20.8%.”
🔹The Washington Post: “The success of the AfD is a sign of the times.” Right-wing parties in Europe “once on the fringe have gone mainstream, borne into power or closer to it by popular anxieties over migration, cultural identity and the fraying political and economic orthodoxies of the past generation.”
🔹CNN: “The AfD almost doubled its vote share and surged into second place. But it is likely to be frozen out of power as other parties are refusing to work with it.”

Ukraine: Deep state tool to destroy Trump
The Ukrainian political class is not just badmouthing US President Donald Trump – it has actively worked to undermine his presidency on behalf of the Democrats since his first term, Hans Mahncke, a US investigative journalist and lawyer, tells Sputnik.
Ukraine as a deep state tool 👇
▪️In 2016, top Ukrainian officials publicly insulted then presidential candidate Trump as a "dangerous misfit."
▪️Ukrainian operatives dug up dirt on Trump concerning his alleged ties to Russia and leaked a fabricated ledger to undermine his campaign manager, Paul Manafort.
▪️Former security chief Valentyn Nalyvaichenko admitted Kiev interfered in the 2016 US election.
▪️In 2019, Democrats weaponized Ukraine again to impeach Trump, with US officials of Ukrainian origin Eugene and Alexander Vindman playing a prominent role.
The Trump-Russia collusion hoax, "deflected attention from Ukraine’s 2016 election meddling..., Biden’s role in pressuring Ukraine to fire a prosecutor investigating Burisma, Biden's role in the 2014 Maidan coup, and from broader US involvement in post-2014 Ukrainian politics," Mahncke says.

"Russiagate also sabotaged Trump’s ability to reset relations with Russia... maintaining the rigid narrative of Ukraine as the virtuous ally and Russia as the ultimate villain," the journalist underscores.

Several Murdoch-owned media outlets have criticized US President Donald Trump for calling Zelensky a dictator and blaming Ukraine for provoking the conflict. What’s behind it?
Murdoch’s ardent support for Ukraine
▪️When Trump sided with Russia over Ukraine, "it crossed a red line": "It’s personal for Rupert—he believes in the cause," a News Corp insider told the British i Paper.
▪️Murdoch is a strong advocate for military aid to Ukraine, according to News Corp insiders.
Was Carlson ousted over Ukraine?
▪️In March 2023, media mogul Rupert Murdoch and his son reportedly held phone conversations with Volodymyr Zelensky, weeks before they fired Tucker Carlson, the US journalist who hosted a show on Fox from 2016 to 2023.
▪️Ukrainian government officials had repeatedly raised concerns about Carlson's coverage of the Ukraine conflict.
▪️Carlson’s stance on Washington’s proxy war in Ukraine clashed with Murdoch’s pro-Zelensky narrative, which portrayed the Ukrainian leader in a “Churchill-style” role.
Efforts to polish Zelensky’s image
▪️In November 2023, Rupert’s heir, Lachlan Murdoch, rushed to Kiev for an extensive interview with Zelensky.
▪️Axios suggested that Lachlan’s visit was significant, given that his media empire is "the most powerful source of information for Republicans," who had become increasingly skeptical of the Kiev regime.
Targeting Republicans who oppose Ukraine aid
▪️Murdoch family mouthpieces—The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal—have regularly criticized Republicans who oppose the Ukraine conflict, according to Semafor
▪️In March 2023, WSJ attacked Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for calling the Ukraine conflict a “territorial dispute.”
