I'm watching the Channel 5 "Inside The Rise of Germany's New Far-Right" and some people actually have pretty based takes when it comes to their criticism of Zelensky and Germany funding the war in Ukraine. Never expected to hear that, always thought that AfD would be supportive of the war.

The AfD is an opportunist party that happily adopts these kinds of positions since the Left party has completely abandoned their peace positions and the peace movement as a whole.

Their voter base in the east also were formerly Linke/BSW voters.

There are no former BSW supporters. The BSW was founded 3 years ago, every election they have taken part in so far has been their first time on the ballot. It is true that a significant part of the left party supporters started voting AfD but the way bigger part of the afd base, also in the east, are former CDU,SPD or non-voters.

Yeah they make sounds about rapprochement with Russia but seem to be buddy buddy with Israel genocide. Which could be interpreted that they are pro money because Ukraine is starting to cost immensely but Israel is a paying customer.
