"Manifesto for Peace" - that's the name of a petition launched on Friday by Left Party politician Sahra Wagenknecht and journalist Alice Schwarzer, which is causing ongoing discussions. 

In it they call on Chancellor Olaf Scholz to "stop the escalation of arms deliveries". 

Instead, he should "put himself at the head of a strong alliance for a ceasefire and peace negotiations at both German and European level." Because at the latest when the Ukrainian armed forces should attack Crimea, Russian President Vladimir Putin will "launch a maximum counterattack".

The petition says: "The German chancellor still assures that he does not want to send fighter jets or 'ground troops'. But how many 'red lines' have already been crossed in the last few months?"
