Sahra Wagenknecht, leader of the BSW party, faced harsh criticism during a TV debate on the Ukraine war.

The discussion, hosted by Maybrit Illner, became heated as Wagenknecht clashed with Green Party leader Omid Nouripour and security expert Claudia Major.

Wagenknecht's stance against weapon deliveries to Ukraine and her claims about Russia's willingness to negotiate were strongly contested.

Major accused Wagenknecht of poisoning public debate with Russian propaganda and misrepresenting facts about defense spending.

Nouripour challenged Wagenknecht to visit Ukraine and confront the realities of war crimes.

The debate highlighted deep divisions in German public opinion about the ongoing conflict.
