Members of the Alternative for Germany faction held an information event in the city of Salzwedel to inform on the humanitarian situation in Donbass, the DPR Foreign Affairs Ministry reports.
Berlin parliament member Gunnar Lindemann told those present about his visits to the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, as well as about his humanitarian projects.
In particular, in his speech he elaborated on meetings with representatives of German national communities living in the republics:
“In Donetsk there are still living about 300 ethnic Germans. It’s not that the German federal government doesn’t care about them but it simply doesn’t even want to remember about them. Therefore, our party assumed responsibility for brothers abroad,” the German politician said.
The humanitarian vulnerability of certain segments of Donbass population, namely orphans, has become one of the key themes of the meeting. Mr. Lindemann spoke about the situation in general and focused on the fact that it is the children cared for in orphanages and boarding schools who need help and support most.
At the end of the event, its participants expressed their readiness to support the children of Donbass to the best of their ability, including by collecting donations for orphanages and boarding schools.
