Over the past day and night, Russia carried out a massive terrorist attack against Ukraine with almost 700 drones, dozens of ballistic and cruise missiles. The attack primarily targeted civilians. At least 4 people were killed in Kyiv, including a 12-year-old child, with over 50 more injured, 8 killed in Odesa, 3 killed and three dozen injured in Dnipro, 1 killed in Zaporizhzhia. Such attacks cannot be normalised. These are war crimes that must be stopped and their perpetrators held to account. We urge the international community to take immediate action. All decisions required to increase pressure on the aggressor must be unblocked now. It is immoral, counterproductive, and dangerous to delay sanctions against Russia or packages of support for Ukraine. Any day of further inaction on critical decisions sends wrong signals and encourages the aggressor to continue, prolong, and expand the war. We reiterate our call for all states to join the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression Against Ukraine by notifying the Council of Europe of the intent to join its Enlarged Partial Agreement. The most appropriate response to Russian terror is the inevitability of justice for the leadership of the Russian terrorist regime.
After my longer than usual vacation was great getting back into work mode with a discussion on #diplomacy at Tallinn University amongst dear friends, Ambassadors of Germany and Italy. Thanking students for their insightful questions&professor Marianna Lovato for inviting!
Die Menschen in #Ungarn haben gewählt. Sie haben sich für den politischen Wandel entschieden. Ich gratuliere @magyarpeterMP. Ich hoffe, dass das Land jetzt wieder seine großen Chancen in und mit Europa nutzt. 1/2
A wonderful day to welcome you to Estonia, dear President of the Bundestag @JuliaKloeckner. Germany is a key pillar of security on NATO’s eastern flank. We both set a strong example with defence spending. This is how Europe grows stronger. Together we will keep up support for Ukraine and maintain pressure on Russia. Our bilateral ties are strong in economy, defence and digital cooperation. To stay competitive, we must be smarter, faster and more innovative. AI helps us get there.
.@EmmanuelMacron and I have established a nuclear steering group in which we coordinate on deterrence issues. We intend to take concrete steps before the end of this year, including conventional German participation in French nuclear exercises.
