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.

[Kęstutis Budrys @BudrysKestutis]

There is a time and place for everything. #Paneriai Memorial is an eternal place of remembrance for 70,000 victims of the #Holocaust. It is inhumane and illegal to desecrate this site. Bring your protests to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs instead.

[Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz @bundeskanzler]

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

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

[Cornelius Zimmermann DE Ambassador to Lithuania @GerAmbLT]

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

[Cornelius Zimmermann DE Ambassador to Lithuania @GerAmbLT]

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.

[EnergyMinistryLT @MinEnergyLT]

Minister Ž. Vaičiūnas met today with 🇩🇪 @GerAmbLT Cornelius Zimmermann.
They discussed energy security, LNG from non-Russian sources & offshore renewables.
The 🇱🇹🇱🇻🇩🇪 offshore grid concept was presented last week as a step toward stronger regional cooperation.

[Cornelius Zimmermann DE Ambassador to Lithuania @GerAmbLT]

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

[Dovilė Šakalienė @DSakaliene]

Yesterday I welcomed #Bergedorf187 roundtable "Defending Peace: The Future of Deterrence and Resilience" in #Vilnius. What is needed to future-proof #EuropeanSecurity in an increasingly volatile world?

As country on the front line of #NATO, #Lithuania understands better than most the critical need to be prepared to defend peace. Not tomorrow, but today&even yesterday.

I thank Cornelius Zimmermann, DE Ambassador to Lithuania @GerAmbLT for the cooperation and wish @KoerberIP constructive and high-quality discussions.

[Annalena Baerbock @ABaerbockArchiv]

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.

[Marius Vaščega 🇪🇺 @MariusVascega]

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. 🇪🇺🇺🇦

[Cornelius Zimmermann DE Ambassador to Lithuania @GerAmbLT]

🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪 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.

[U.S. Embassy Vilnius @USEmbVilnius]

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.
