Ukrainian Suspilne reports that gas storage facilities in Germany are filled only to 61%. According to Suspilne, the German Ministry of Economy assured that gas reserves should be sufficient for the winter, and reaching 70% by November 1 is not necessary.

Russian press

According to RIA Novosti (propaganda media), that is, Russian propaganda messaging, Kremlin propaganda in this text presents the German AfD party as "the voice of the German people" – this is how Kirill Dmitriev, special presidential representative for investment and economic cooperation of Russia, described it. Dmitriev reportedly rejected the accusation that the AfD is far-right, and called German Deutsche Welle "left-wing radicals" (Дмитриев назвал АдГ голосом немецкого народа – RIA Nowosti (media propagandowe)). The agency also reports that the AfD is preparing to take part in a Russian-German-American business forum, as stated by Markus Frohnmaier, deputy chairman of the AfD parliamentary group in the Bundestag.

The Russian portal Wiesti.ru (propaganda media) presents a statement by Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, who wrote on X that the AfD is not an ultra-right party but the voice of the German people, and that Deutsche Welle expresses the position of German bureaucracy. According to Wiesti.ru (propaganda media), the DPA agency reported that AfD representatives in the Bundestag called for a halt to military and financial support for Kyiv and the normalization of relations with Moscow; this is a message of Kremlin propaganda, not an established fact (Дмитриев: партия АдГ стала голосом немецкого народа – Wiesti.ru (media propagandowe)). The same thread connects to Ukrainian coverage, because according to TSN, the German and British governments are skeptical of talks between Ukraine and Russia held under US auspices in Abu Dhabi.
