Scandal-hit AfD politician makes comeback in German Bundestag
However, he was able to run as an AfD candidate in the eastern state of Saxony in Sunday's general election in Germany, and won with more than 44 percent of the vote.
At the party's meeting on Tuesday to form its new parliamentary grouping, it was confirmed that he would sit as an AfD lawmaker despite attracting criticism within the party in the past.
His comments last year also prompted the AfD's expulsion from the far-right Identity and Democracy (ID) group in the European Parliament, in which France's National Rally (RN) and Italy's League had been its partners.
Krah also hit the headlines after one of his aides was arrested on suspicion of spying for China, and after he was forced to deny allegations that he accepted money to spread pro-Russian positions on a Moscow-financed news website.
Another notable face in the new AfD intake is 30-year-old Dario Seifert, who won the seat formerly represented by ex-chancellor Angela Merkel in the northeastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Seifert is a former member of the youth wing of the neo-Nazi NPD and has frequently been quoted expressing revisionist opinions about Germany's Nazi past.
Another new AfD MP who has caused controversy, including within the party, is Matthias Helferich, who once described himself as "the friendly face of National Socialism".
He says he hopes to serve on parliament's culture committee and "answer left-wing culture war with right-wing cultural policy".
The AfD doubled its vote share to more than 20 percent and will have the second-biggest group in the new parliament, with 152 seats out of a total of 630.

Trump Sours On Putin, But Bromance May Not Be Over
Ever since his political rise a decade ago, Donald Trump has sung the praises of Vladimir Putin -- the Russian president was a "strong leader" who, perhaps more important, would often say "very good things" about him. With his announcement Monday of new arms for Ukraine via Europe and tariff threats on Russia, Trump's bromance with Putin has hit a new low -- but it may not have run its course. Trump, who had vowed to end the Ukraine war within a day of returning to the White House, said he was "disappointed" in Putin, who has kept attacking Ukraine as if the leaders' telephone conversations "didn't mean anything." "I go home, I tell the first lady, 'You know, I spoke to Vladimir today, we had a wonderful conversation. She said, 'Oh really? Another city was just hit.'" "I don't want to say he's an assassin, but he's a tough guy. It's been proven over the years. He's fooled a lot of people," Trump said. Trump quickly rejected that he was among those fooled and again insisted that the 2022 invasion of Ukraine was the fault of his predecessor Joe Biden, who championed a hard line on Russia. Brandishing his favorite weapon, Trump gave Russia 50 days to comply before facing 100 percent tariffs on countries that purchase from Russia, but stopped short of backing a bill before Congress for up to 500 percent tariffs. Russia's own trade with the United States has slowed down a trickle. Trump had "promised that he could get Putin to the negotiating table, and he has failed to do that," said Heather Conley, a former State Department policymaker on Russia now at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. His tariff threat "shows frustration that he has failed to do it, but I don't see it as a big policy change," she said. Trump stunned European allies on February 28 when he publicly berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, telling him he was ungrateful for billions of dollars in weapons under Biden. Trump then briefly held up new military and intelligence. For the US president, a transactional-minded businessman, Putin committed a key offense -- undermining Trump's self-image as a deal-maker. "For six months, President Trump tried to entice Putin to the table. The attacks have gone up, not down," Senator Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally who has led the push for tough new sanctions on Russia, told CBS News show "Face The Nation." "One of the biggest miscalculations Putin has made is to play Trump," Graham said. Yet Trump has repeatedly shown a willingness to trust Putin, despite firm warnings from within the US government. Most famously, he sided with Putin over US intelligence at a 2018 news conference after they met in Helsinki after the Russian president denied meddling to support Trump in his first election. For observers of Putin, the longest-serving leader in Moscow since Stalin, there was never much chance he would accept compromise on Ukraine or work with the West. Putin has rued the demise of Russia's influence with the fall of the Soviet Union as a historic calamity and rejected the idea that Ukraine has its own historical identity. With Russia making small but steady gains on the battlefield and bringing in North Korean troops, Putin has put his entire country on war footing, Conley said. "The Kremlin has thrown everything into this," she said. "President Putin believes that this is just going to be a slow erosion of Ukraine's position and the West's position, and he will win this conflict on its own merits," she said. Mark Montgomery, a retired US rear admiral and Senate policy aide, said Putin believed in what has been referred to as TACO -- Trump Always Chickens Out. Putin "thought he could take it to the limit each time, and he found out he was wrong," said Montgomery, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a hawkish research group. "I don't think this stops until Putin feels either weapons system pain or economic pain that he cannot sustain."

Trump Claims Russia-Ukraine War Wasn't His 'Initial Focus' Despite Promise to End Conflict on 'Day 1'
Donald Trump downplayed his role in the Russia-Ukraine war on Monday, calling it "a Biden war" and saying the conflict was "not an initial focus" of his administration, despite repeatedly promising to end the war on "day 1" of him being back in office. The president's remarks came during a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, following a meeting in which the two leaders discussed military aid to Ukraine. In response to a reporter's question about why he was giving Russia 50 more days to negotiate, Trump said, "I've just really been involved in this for not very long. It wasn't an initial focus. This is a Biden war. This is a Democrat war." Trump has long claimed he could broker peace in Ukraine "within 24 hours," often criticizing Joe Biden for fueling the war through U.S. support. But the recent comments marked the first time Trump acknowledged a lack of personal involvement or focus on the war during the early part of his second term, now six months in. He also promised that if negotiations failed within 50 days, he would impose a 100% tariff on Russian goods. In the same briefing, Trump announced a new agreement with NATO allies to supply Ukraine with American-made weapons, reportedly funded by European nations, according to the Mirror . "We made a deal today... We're not buying it, but we will manufacture it and they will be paying for it," Trump said. While the president now insists on a short timeline for negotiations, he offered no specific diplomatic plan beyond tariffs and weapons sales. Originally published on Latin Times

Ukraine: Zelenskyy proposes new prime minister – DW – 07/14/2025
Yuliia Svyrydenko would become the country's second female prime minister in history once her candidacy is approved by parliament. She is currently Ukraine's economy minister. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced Monday that he had asked Yuliia Svyrydenko to become the new prime minister. "I have proposed that Yuliia Svyrydenko lead the government of Ukraine and significantly renew its work. I look forward to the presentation of the new government's action plan in the near future," Zelenskyy wrote on X. Yuliia Svyrydenko is currently Ukraine's economy minister, with her role becoming especially prominent in the media this year because of the mineral deal that eventually came to be signed by the US and Ukraine. A televised spat between the leaders of the US and Ukraine in Washington had ended discussions on the deal in February, when the agreement was originally meant to be signed. But Svyrydenko has been credited as the person to have traveled to Washington shortly after the spat to get the job done. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been eyeing changes to his cabinet as Ukraine continues to try and fend off Russian forces for the fourth year of war. Zelenskyy last week announced during a gathering of leaders in Rome that he was considering replacing his current ambassador to the US. "We need a person (as US ambassador) to be strong and to be in the context of the most important thing, in the context of strengthening Ukraine — through weapons, first of all. Therefore, one of my ideas is that it can be Ukraine's defense minister." But other names have also been floated for the job for the country's next ambassador to the US as well, and a final decision is pending. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Svyrydenko is 39 years old and has held a number of posts in the state administration of Chernihiv region in the north, where she was born. She then quickly rose through the ranks and became deputy head of the presidential office, and in 2021, became the economy minister and deputy prime minister. Svyrydenko would replace incumbent Denys Shmyhal, who was appointed as the country's prime minister in 2020. Her candidacy would still have to be approved by Ukraine's parliament before she can step into the role. Once approved, she would become Ukraine's second female prime minister after Yulia Tymoshenko, who led the country in the years after the 2004 Orange Revolution.
