Conext of Putin in german media

It's quiet often, that Russia has supporters, that come for far left or far right in Europe and Russia plays also quiet intelligent with those minorities for his interests.
Before 2016 Russia Today RT wanted to win more left wing activists for Putins (Kremlins) Propaganda, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JmV-6zMbs4

Austrian conservative newpaper DiePresse titles: Trump's peace plan is a gift to Putin

The US has blindsided the EU with its 28-point plan for Ukraine. Europe has no say in matters on its own doorstep. Trump takes a cold, pragmatic view of the war in Ukraine. Is this the best chance for peace, or does Putin want more? The US peace plan for Ukraine appears, in many respects, to have been drafted in the Kremlin. President Donald Trump is conspicuously accommodating Russia. According to the plan, Ukraine is to reduce its military strength, renounce NATO membership, and relinquish territories in Donetsk and Luhansk that the Russian army has not yet conquered. A rich reward

FAZ titles: If Ukraine falls, then Poland is open

Is Trump listening to the Europeans? If not, then they must support Ukraine so that it can remain the first bulwark in the defense of Europe against Russian imperialism.

Berthold Kohler, November 21, 2025 Reading time: 2 min. Is Trump listening to the Europeans? If not, then they must support Ukraine so that it can remain the first bulwark in the defense of Europe against Russian imperialism. The White House's claim that the so-called peace plan for Ukraine is not only good for Russia, but also for the Ukrainians, is cynical enough to come straight from the Kremlin, as are the 28 points of the document. They represent a complete capitulation not only of Ukraine, but also of the free West to the aggressor. The American president is now seriously issuing an ultimatum not to Moscow to end its war of aggression—as he once did, only to let it expire without consequence—but to the invaded nation The Europeans were surprised by the pact.

He wants to end the war at any cost, regardless of the consequences for the Ukrainians of his capitulation to the Kremlin. And for the other Europeans, if Putin could celebrate his triumph in Russia like Hitler did after bringing the Sudetenland "back into the Reich."

Die Welt admonishes: “Many should have taken Putin more seriously, especially in Germany.”

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson warns against strategic impatience in the West and calls for a tougher European response to Russian hybrid attacks. "Russia is no harder to read than before the invasion. Many should have taken Putin more seriously, especially in Germany. Moscow is agitating directly and through proxies to sow uncertainty. In the Ukraine war, the Kremlin is counting on our impatience. On us saying: 'This war cannot be won.' Or: 'We need the money for social programs.' He hopes time will work in his favor – and that we won't use frozen Russian assets," Kristersson told Der Spiegel.
