Meinen Glückwunsch an die gewählten Mitglieder des UN-Sicherheitsrats, besonders an Portugal und Österreich. Deutschland bleibt ein verlässlicher Pfeiler des Multilateralismus – mit Entschlossenheit und Verantwortung. (1/2)

[Johann Wadephul @AussenMinDE]

Ich gratuliere den neu gewählten Mitgliedern des UN-Sicherheitsrats, insb. #Österreich & #Portugal. Ich bin überzeugt, dass sie zum Wohle der Weltgemeinschaft wirken werden. Auch Deutschland wird sich weiter intensiv für Frieden & Sicherheit & eine handlungsfähige #UN engagieren.

#Russia’s reckless behavior continues to threaten our collective security. Our response is unity. We stand with #Romania 🇷🇴. Our thoughts are with those injured in tonights drone crash. We will continue to strengthen 🇺🇦 & European defence in #NATO.

[Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz @bundeskanzler]

Russia’s reckless drone incursion into Romania shows once again Russia’s willingness to escalate. Germany stands with our NATO Allies. The incident once again underscores the need for strong NATO posture on the Eastern flank. We are ready to defend every inch of Allied territory.

This day will always remain a day of mourning, a day to remember the victims of Russia’s aggression. But it should also be a day of inspiration for us all. For the support of Ukraine & for Europe. (7/7)

[GermanForeignOffice @GermanyDiplo]

Germany remains the largest European supporter of Ukraine – in military aid alone, we have provided or committed 55 billion euros since 2022. In terms of civilian aid, a further 39 billion euros have been provided. (6/7)

The threat posed by Russia affects us all. Putin must not be allowed to capitalise on the current escalation in the Middle East. We know he is hoping that Ukraine’s supporters will eventually turn their backs on it. We will not do him that favour. (5/7)

[GermanForeignOffice @GermanyDiplo]

Over four years ago, Putin believed he could seize an entire country in a single stroke. He could not have been more mistaken: about the resilience of 🇺🇦, the enormous price he is paying – and will continue to pay – and the solidarity among 🇺🇦’s supporters. (4/7)

To hold the perpetrators accountable,🇩🇪 is supporting efforts to document Russian crimes. As a member of the Claims Commission & through 🇩🇪’s commitment to a special tribunal for the crime of aggression, we are working to ensure that Putin’s atrocities do not go unpunished. (3/7)

[GermanForeignOffice @GermanyDiplo]

Bucha has become a symbol of inhumanity & brutality, of the unspeakable, deliberate crimes against civilians that are an integral part of Russian warfare. Wherever Putin’s Russia goes, it brings war crimes & barbarism. (2/7)

[GermanForeignOffice @GermanyDiplo]

Together with my colleagues from Ukraine & the EU, I commemorated the liberation of #Bucha four years ago today. Under Russian occupation, this quiet suburb of Kyiv became a living hell. @AussenMinDE (1/7)

[Johann Wadephul @AussenMinDE]

Achieving a just peace for the people of Ukraine remains Germany’s priority number one. It was good to see you again, President @ZelenskyyUa.

[Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz @bundeskanzler]

Good to see you again, @POTUS.
Difficult times call for strong partnerships.

Iran spreads terror. This endangers our partners - and us. We share a clear interest in putting an end to all this.

Exciting News: German Chancellor Merz will visit the White House next week at the invitation of U.S. President Trump. This will mark the German leader's third visit to the White House! 🇺🇸🇩🇪

[Johann Wadephul @AussenMinDE]

4 years of bravery.
4 years of sacrifice.
4 years of unbreakable spirit.
4 years of defending freedom.

For us. For you. For #Ukraine. For Europe.

We 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇵🇱 stand behind you 🇺🇦 - as long as it takes.

[Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz @bundeskanzler]

Die transatlantische Partnerschaft ist kostbar. In Zeiten der Großmächte werden wir auf das gegenseitige Vertrauen angewiesen sein. @GavinNewsom und ich sind uns einig: Zusammen sind wir stärker. Die NATO ist unser gemeinsamer Wettbewerbsvorteil.

[Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz @bundeskanzler]

For three generations, trust amongst allies and partners has made NATO the strongest alliance of all times. In the era of great power rivalry, being a part of NATO is not only Europe’s competitive advantage. So let’s repair and revive transatlantic trust together.

[Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz @bundeskanzler]

We stand united and coordinated with Denmark and the people of Greenland. As a member of NATO, we are committed to strengthening Arctic security as a shared transatlantic interest. Tariff threats undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral.

I am deeply shocked by the terror attack in #Sydney - an act of hatred on the first day of #Hanukkah that is directed against Jewish communities everywhere. My heart goes out to the families of those murdered, the victims and the Jewish community. @AussenMinDE
