Death & destruction across #Ukraine – including strikes on hospitals and TV studios – show that Putin’s terror knows no limits. Thus, we must set limits. We want to implement the 🇩🇪 proposal I put forward at #NATO to step up support for 🇺🇦. Everyone is called upon. @AussenMinDE
Tod & Zerstörung in der #Ukraine, darunter Krankenhäuser & TV-Studios, zeigen: #Putins Terror kennt keine Grenzen – wir müssen sie ihm aufzeigen: 🇩🇪 Vorschlag zur weiteren Unterstützung der 🇺🇦, den ich in der #NATO eingebracht habe, wollen wir umsetzen – dazu sind alle gefragt.

A major milestone for 🌏 #climatejustice, as #UNGA adopted a landmark resolution led by Vanuatu endorsing the ICJ’s advisory opinion on states’ legal responsibilities on #climatechange. This powerful moment reflects growing international momentum for accountability and action.
