Infact verdict: Mixed (59/100).
The claims regarding Sarah Wagenknecht's call for a change in Germany's policy towards Russia and the proposal for 'Helsinki 2.0' are supported by multiple sources. Wagenknecht's stance on peace negotiations and criticism of Western policies is documented. The concept of 'Helsinki 2.0' is also discussed in the context of enhancing European security. However, claims about the counterproductivity of supporting Ukraine and rearming the Bundeswehr are opinions and cannot be factually verified.
