Our colleague in the EU Delegation in Minsk has just been released from detention in Belarus. It is a big relief. I share the joy of his family and friends. I want to thank our US partners for their efforts and engagement in facilitating his release.

Vor 35 Jahren ebnete der Zwei-Plus-Vier-Vertrag den Weg für die Wiedervereinigung Deutschlands und beendete die Verantwortung der Siegermächte. Er war auch ein Friedensbekenntnis. Sein Geist ist heute wichtiger denn je. Denn wir müssen Freiheit, Frieden und Wohlstand schützen.

By sending Russian drones into #NATO airspace, #Putin is acting in a dangerous and unacceptable way. That is why the Russian Ambassador was summoned to the Federal Foreign Office today. NATO stands united in defending our Alliance territory and our security.

Das war Heldenmut! Als wir im August 2021 gebannt die Nachrichten aus Afghanistan verfolgten, halfen Kolleginnen und Kollegen aus dem Auswärtiges Amt und auch zivile Helfer bei der dramatischen Rettung vom Flughafen Kabul mit. 1/4

A powerful & grand gesture of support & solidarity from 🇧🇪 PM De Wever towards the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra & its conductor Lahav Shani following the cancellation of their concert in Ghent: he will be attending their concert at the Philharmonie Essen this evening! Excellent!

Ich habe meiner Kollegin 🇷🇴 Toiu Oana heute Deutschlands Solidarität zugesichert. Das Eindringen einer russischen #Drohne in den rumänischen Luftraum ist eine weitere inakzeptable Verletzung der Souveränität eines engen Partners in #EU und NATO.

Congratulations, Germany- winner of #EuroBasket2025. It was incredible game played by Turkish and German teams. As Eurobasket comes to an end many thanks from Latvia and Riga to all players, organisers, supporters and fans who made great championship in Riga.

Today, the #E3 Foreign Ministers and the EU High Representative initiated a call with their Iranian counterpart to continue diplomatic efforts. They underscored that #Iran has yet to take the reasonable and precise actions necessary to reach an extension of resolution 2231. (1/2)

Dear Viktor, I understand that there is an election campaign in your country, and that this time you are truly being challenged for power. But we do not interfere in your election campaign, nor do we want to become part of it. Sweden and the Swedish people have always been

Vigilance is the price of freedom. Russia's unacceptable violation of Estonian airspace today has shown that this principle of NATO is now more relevant than ever. 1/2

Great news! The conditions for the entry into force of the #BBNJ agreement are met. A major victory for multilateralism and for ocean protection.

Hamas posting a video of Alon Ohel today is another of their cruel propaganda moves. Rather than parading him on camera Hamas must let urgent medical care get through to him. Alon and all the other hostages must be released asap thus ending this terrible war.

What happened on Friday marked a further dangerous escalation by #Russia. In #Estonia, Russia violated, without any provocation, the territorial integrity of one of its neighbours and thus one of the fundamental principles of the UN Charter. - Johann Wadephul at the UNSC. 1/4

Russia's repeated violations of #NATO airspace are highly dangerous. NATO is strong and stands united. We will use all necessary means to defend Alliance territory and our security, and to counter threats from #Russia.

The #E3 & #EU urged #Iran to take practical steps within the next days, if not hours to address longstanding concerns around its nuclear program. These include resuming direct talks with the US & access to all Iranian nuclear sites for the IAEA, in line with its obligations. 1/2

Russia’s repeated violations of NATO airspace show: Putin disregards what the United Nations stands for — the territorial integrity and sovereignty of states. The global community must and will stand firmly against this.

Also, don't believe the false narrative that I and fellow diplomats are somehow following a "rogue agenda". All my activity is fully in line with 🇩🇪 government and position of EU as stated repeatedly in writing by EU Council, our 27 elected leaders. See below also for Georgian ⬇️

At the International #Crimea Platform at #UNGA we assured Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський: 🇩🇪 & its 🇪🇺 partners continuously support #Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity & political independence. Crimea is part of 🇺🇦. Russia’s illegal annexations in 🇺🇦 are null and void.

We must massively raise the costs of Russia’s aggression. Europe needs to consider how the Russian central bank’s assets frozen in Europe can be confiscated and made available for the defence of Ukraine. I propose this in an article in the Financial Times. 1/8

Today, the UNSC clearly rejected the draft resolution put forward by Russia & China. This is a strong signal of support to the snapback process. Snapback is to become effective tomorrow at 8 pm EDT. It is not the end of diplomacy. The E3 remain committed to a diplomatic solution.
