Today, together with my French colleague, we jointly commemorated the Armistice of November 11, 1918. This ceremony, dedicated to honoring the memory of fallen soldiers, stands as a profound symbol of Franco-German reconciliation and shared commitment to peace.

Putin repeats that he will stop the war against Ukraine if there will be an agreement ‘to eliminate all primary causes of the conflict’.
Putin needs to remember that the only ‘primary cause’ for Russia’s aggression against Ukraine is the authoritarian & aggressive Putin regime itself.

„Die Ukraine soll Gebiete abgeben, um den Krieg zu beenden.“ Wer das fordert, ignoriert das Völkerrecht und die Verfassung eines souveränen Staates. Russland will die Ukraine beherrschen. Frieden in Europa ist nur mit verlässlichen Sicherheitsgarantien für die Ukraine möglich.

Europa muss selbst entscheiden, was in Europa geschieht – nicht Moskau. Gerechter Frieden heißt: Russland muss den Krieg beenden. Aggression darf nicht belohnt, muss bestraft werden. Die Ukraine schenkt kein Land, keine Menschen dem Aggressor. Koordination mit Europa & den USA ist entscheidend.

The German government is committed to further sanctioning violent settlers. The illegal settlements are a major obstacle to the two-state solution. The policy of settlement construction is clearly contrary to international law. @aussenminister.diplo.de
