Dear Volodymyr @zelenskyyua, we stand with #Ukraine in good and in testing times. We must never confuse aggressor and victim in this terrible war. (FM)

Russia has been waging a brutal war here in Europe. The EU and Nato need to stand by Ukraine. This is no time for public bashing between partners and Allies. What happened in the Oval Office must not stand in the way of a continued determined joint effort to produce a just peace

Turns out, sometimes you can just do things 🇩🇪

Bolivia pierde su derecho s voto en Naciones Unidas. La “diplomacia de los pueblos” sólo sirvió para destruir el Servicio de Relaciones Exteriores y la política exterior de la República de Bolivia.

We must consistently align our foreign policy with our interests in Germany and #Europe. This requires focusing on the essentials: Safeguarding the #security, #freedom and #prosperity of Germany and Europe. – German FM Wadephul Johann Wadephul 1/x

"On August 17, Bolivians will decide more than our next government: We will decide whether our vote belongs to us or to forces beyond our borders," writes Jhanisse Vaca Daza. "For the sake of democracy in Bolivia and across the Americas, the world should stand with us."

Finde ich Atomkraft perfekt? Nein! Würde ich gerne komplett mit Solar & Wind Energie arbeiten? Ja. Ist das heute realistisch? Leider nein. Wir haben uns in Deutschland in eine Sackgasse manövriert. Ich habe bereits 2021 bei Markus Lanz gewarnt, dass ein pauschales „Atomkraft
