On September 7, 2026, Germany’s far‑right Alternative for Germany (AfD) secured a regional victory, prompting The Japan Times to describe a growing “Putin’s shadow across Europe.” The African Financial Review (AFR) added that the victorious extremists count “friends in very high places,” while The Telegraph noted the party’s view of Russia as a “friend.” These reports mark the first public signs of a widening pro‑Moscow sentiment within the EU political landscape. The EU’s foreign policy chief responded later the same day, issuing a formal alarm that the surge in pro‑Moscow attitudes threatens European cohesion, according to UNITED24 Media.
Coverage underscores the chief’s call for heightened vigilance and potential diplomatic countermeasures, leaving observers to monitor whether member states will coordinate a unified response.
