Dritte Weg (known in English as the “Third Path” or “Third Way”) is a German far-right movement, with ties to both the Russian and Ukrainian far-right:

The movement was a participant in the Paneuropean Conference of the Reconquista Movement (International) 1.

In the past, members of the NPD youth organization Young Nationalists and the neo-Nazi micro-party Third Way have taken part in courses at a paramilitary training center of the right-wing extremist organization Russian Imperial Movement (Russian Reich Movement, RIM) in St. Petersburg Close combat techniques are taught. The federal government said this in its answer to a question from the left-wing member of the Bundestag Martina Renner, which is available to the editorial network Germany (RND).

Semenjaka has played an important role for the Ukrainian right-wing extremists in recent years. She worked as the international secretary of the National Corps, a party that emerged from the Azov regiment. There are photos in which she shows the Nazi salute, in others she poses with a swastika or the Nazi symbol of the Black Sun. Their mission is to turn the Azov movement into a coalition of far-right groups in the western world to take over Europe, Semenyaka told Time in 2019-Magazine. For years she has been traveling to right-wing extremists in other European countries - according to research by ZEIT, eight times also to events in Germany: at the invitation of the Dierechte party and the NPD juniors Junge Nationalisten or in 2018 as a speaker at a festival of neo-Nazis from the Third Way.

As well as having ties to the Nordic Resistance Movement (Nordic Countries)

In Germany, the neo-Nazi party Der III. Weg (The Third Way) is an important partner for the NMR. Members of the NMR have visited their far-right friends in Germany several times: At a demo of Der III. Weg in the Berlin district of Hohenschönhausen on October 3, 2020, Fredrik Vejdeland, a leading figure of the Swedish chapter, gave a speech in German. In Würzburg in 2017, NMR leader Simon Lindberg spoke at one of the party’s demonstrations.
