„Putin is a war criminal. He is perhaps the most serious war criminal of our time that we have seen on a large scale. We must be clear about how to deal with war criminals: There is no room for leniency.“

#Russia is attacking our security architecture and will direct its aggressive behaviour even more clearly against us if we do not stop it. Therefore, we must assume much greater responsibility for our own security. - Johann Wadephul at #BoKo2025 1/x

🇩🇪 stands with 🇪🇪! Your security is our security! #estonia Margus Tsahkna Ambassador Jonatan Vseviov

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

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has called on the international community to increase pressure on Moscow in view of recent airspace violations in Estonia attributed to Russia and other provocations.

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.

🇩🇪Foreign Minister Wadephul addressed the UN Security Council: Russia’s airspace violations in 🇪🇪 and 🇵🇱 show a dangerous disregard for international law. Germany stands with its partners to defend sovereignty, peace & the UN Charter. Full speech here: t1p.de/8g87h

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

The world today is not the same as 80 years ago. The #UN Security Council must reflect that. Africa, Asia & Latin America need to be represented accordingly - as does Germany, which bears major political & financial responsibility. Together with 🇧🇷, 🇮🇳 & 🇯🇵, we push for reform.

Injustice will not be forgotten: On this very day, three years ago, #Russia announced the illegal annexation of portions of #Ukraine’s Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. 1/3

35 years ago today, a historic injustice was finally corrected with the reunification of East and West Germany. German Unity Day reminds us of the importance of courageously standing up for what is right. Glückwünsche zum Tag der Deutschen Einheit! 🇩🇪

Happy Unity Day to the people of Germany and my colleague, Johann Wadephul. Estonia and Germany stand together as close partners & allies in NATO. Wishing you a joyful day of celebration. 🇪🇪🤝🇩🇪

On #GermanUnityDay, we remember the courage of people in East Germany who fought for democracy & tore down the #BerlinWall as well as the brave shipyard workers in #Gdańsk who punched a first hole into the #IronCurtain. It is also a day to 🙏 all friends who helped to reunite 🇩🇪.

Thank you Hanno Pevkur for the fruitful exchange. We stand together as partners in the EU, as allies in NATO and as friends. Your security is our security! 🇩🇪🤝🇪🇪 MoD Estonia Estonian MFA 🇪🇪 | 🌻 #StandWithUkraine

The 🇩🇪Army is establishing a new artillery battalion: The Wheeled Artillery Battalion 215 will add a highly modern & mobile unit to the 🇩🇪Army. Equipped with the RCH 155 wheeled howitzer, the battalion can be rapidly deployed to #NATO’s eastern flank in the event of a crisis. 1/2

#Estonia & #Germany share deep historical & cultural ties, common values, & shared responsibility. Met today with our good friend, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, to thank Germany for its leadership in #European security & discuss our strong economic cooperation.

Just had a warm exchange with the President of Germany 🇩🇪, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, on the sidelines of the Arraiolos Group meeting. A timely opportunity to reaffirm Estonia and Germany’s 🇪🇪🇩🇪 shared commitment to strengthening European security, supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦, &

Exciting, happy and humbling days come to a close: Celebrating the partnership and friendship between 🇩🇪 and 🇪🇪 with both Presidents, an encounter with 🇪🇪 legend Arvo Pärt and our first Oktoberfest in Tallinn? What more could possibly fit into two days?
