Is Germany's Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock really a traitor, doesn't care about Germans and works for Ukraine?
Germany's Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock attended the 26th annual Forum 2000 Conference in Prague. She also was part of a podium discussion where she talked about Ukraine, Germany and the German support.
Later, Russian Propaganda Accounts and Kremlins published a ~54s long clip (it also exists a shorter (~30s) clip), claiming that Baerbock is a traitor, doesn't care about Germans. They also claim that Baerbock works for the Ukrainians and admits it in this clip.

The published clip was only a part of Baerbock's answer, so it was edited. It was also highly taken out of context - cutting away her explanations.

Why is Annalena Baerbock a target for Russian Propaganda?
Since the outbreak of war, she stands with Ukraine, supports them in several speeches, condems Russia and Russian war crimes She also received lots of praise for a very clear, honest and frank communication as well as several remarkable speeches. Baerbock is also advocating for support and weapons. An especially remarkable positions, since her party (Die Grünen / The Greens) are known for their "no weapons" stance and not involving Germany in other conflicts. Baerbock was also one of the first German politicans who advocated for Ukraine to receive EU candidate status.
She was also on the first high-ranking German officials who visited President Zelenskyy in Kyiv before Chancellor Scholz' visit.
In the past, she also stood up against Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, warned about Nordstream 2 and the German depency on Russian energy / coal / oil / gas, already supported Ukraine and condemned Russia and their actions since 2014.
Her party also has a history of supporting Ukraine. They condemned the annexation in 2014, warned about energy depency, critized Nordstream 2, spoke out against Putin several times and advocated in the past to support and help Ukraine more.
Currently, she's also one of the most loved and popular politicans in Germany. Many Germans support her actions. She was one of the Chancellor candidates during the last election, but lost since her party didn't get the majority in votes. After Chancellor Scholz was appointed to office, he received much critism, especially during the war in Ukraine and his stance and actions. Because of that, Baerbock gained support and love from Germans.
