Cornelius Zimmermann DE Ambassador to Lithuania

20th anniversary of Lithuanian - German Forum and real strategic partnership between our countries: it was so great to celebrate it w/true friends of freedom from @Bundestag - @TErndl @nouripour @MiRo_SPD @RKiesewetter @jbvolkmann - all #United4Ukraine @BudrysKestutis @GerAmbLT

We are increasingly feeling Russia’s hybrid threat all across Europe: drones over airports, sabotage in the Baltic Sea, airspace violations on NATO’s eastern flank. We are responding – calmly, but resolutely. @AussenMinDE in Sofia 🇧🇬 1/5

This afternoon our embassy 🇩🇰 garden hosted a lovely get together with @tsikhanouski_s as the grand chef 👨‍🍳 Great company, good food, and Belarusian music. Thank you all ☀️

I wholeheartedly support the statement of the Foreign Minister of Lithuania. We cannot tolerate any desecration of any site of the #Holocaust. This is just inhumane.

Together with @Keir_Starmer and @EmmanuelMacron I have discussed the latest developments in the Middle East earlier today. We reiterate our commitment to peace and stability for all countries in the region. We affirm our support for the security of Israel. 1/5

Thank you all for participation in the #WorldRefugeeDay concert yesterday in Vilnius Despite heavy rain, warm atmosphere, community feeling and engagement it was all about Thank you @GerAmbLT for joining us and thank you @AgencyArtscape and partners for making it happen

79% of Lithuanians see 🇩🇪 favorably, 41% have visited 🇩🇪 A strong basis for future cooperation. These results make me very happy! Today #TeamGermany officially presented our survey “Germany through the eyes of Lithuanians” to the media, with @ahkbalt, Bundeswehr, Goethe Institut.

Inauguration ceremony of #PzBrig45 on the Cathedral square in Vilnius, where the Baltic way started to pave the way to freedom for the Baltic countries. Today, the Bundeswehr stands ready here to protect and defend this freedom, for 🇱🇹, 🇩🇪 and all of @NATO. 📸 KAM / A. Pliadis

Warm welcome to the 🇩🇪 @bundeskanzler at the 🇱🇹 Presidential Palace!

🇱🇹 Lithuania is preparing for the inauguration ceremony of #Panzerbrigade45 and looking forward to the visit of 🇩🇪 @bundeskanzler.

80 years ago today, WW2 and the Nazi regime ended. We remember the victims of terrible racism and hatred. Not everywhere the end of war brought Freedom. 🇩🇪 takes its resulting responsibility seriously: we will continue to support 🇺🇦 and stand ready to defend freedom here in 🇱🇹.

Dear Minister, looking forward to a close and productive cooperation on energy security, protection of critical infrastructure & renewables.

Dear Minister, dear Dovilė, thank you for honouring us with your presence and your important contribution.

Ukraine is not alone. Germany together with our European allies stands united alongside #Ukraine - and against the Russian aggression. Ukraine can build on unwavering support from Germany, Europe and beyond. Their defence of democracy & their quest for peace & security is ours.

Tomorrow will mark 3 years since Russia started unprovoked, unjustified, illegal war against #Ukraine. Today with the diplomatic community of Vilnius we were standing in solidarity and support to Ukraine. 🇪🇺 is Ukraine’s largest contributor, with almost 135 billion Euros. 🇪🇺🇺🇦

🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪 have successfully left the formerly soviet BRELL electricity grid – congratulations! We know from experience: energy independence is key to avoid political pressure. Thus happy that 🇩🇪 could contribute with @Siemens_Energy delivering the necessary synchronous condensators.

Yesterday, Ambassador McDonald joined members of the diplomatic corps and Lithuanian government, representatives from the Lithuanian Jewish community, and many others to attend International Holocaust Remembrance Day commemoration, organized by the Israeli Embassy. The event featured a performance of The Witness, a play that tells the story of Avraham Sutzkever, a renowned Yiddish poet and founding member of the Paper Brigade. A discussion with Hadas Kalderon (the playwright and Sutzkever’s granddaughter) and Michael Hanegbi, the actor portraying Sutzkever was after the performance. As we commemorate this somber occasion, we pay tribute to the undying spirit of the Jewish community.  We renew our resolve to end anti-Semitism and religious bigotry of all forms.  We proudly reassert our strong bonds of friendship with the State of Israel. #USinLT #AmbMcDonald #WeRemember #CulturalDiplomacyUSinLT #USAndTheHolocaust ‌@IsraelinLT @GerAmbLT @vyriausybe50530
