The biggest winner of the election was the conservative Christian Democrat Union (CDU) which won 208 seats in the 630-seat chamber.
Along with the 120 seats of the Centre-Left SPD, this should be enough to form a stable coalition, with the CDU in the driving seat. This means that Germany will strengthen its support for Ukraine, just as America is trying to undermine it.
Before the election, the government was a three-party coalition of the SPD (main party) with the CDU and the Leftist Greens. The hope in the Kremlin was that this election would create a situation where their two proxies on the Right and the Left would gain enough seats to make Germany an ungovernable mess and sow chaos in the EU's support for Ukraine.
However, despite election interference attempts by both the Kremlin and the Pro-Putinist Trump administration aimed at boosting the right-wing Putinist AfD, it only managed to finish second, gaining 152 seats.
Meanwhile the Pro-Putinist left-wing party (BSW) also failed, getting just short the 5% of the vote threshold needed to gain representation in the German parliament. It will thus have no seats in the Bundestag.

The evidence of Putinist interference in the German election will probably lead to moves to outlaw the AfD and the BSW in the coming parliament in order to "protect German democracy."
