65 years since construction began on the Berlin Wall - a symbol of division, and a reminder of the power of freedom that brought it down in 1989. We remember those who suffered under the division, and the transatlantic friendship that helped pave the way to unity. 🇩🇪🇺🇸

Shaping 250 — Faces of the 🇩🇪🇺🇸 Story Levi Strauss arrived in California as a young Bavarian immigrant during the Gold Rush and helped invent the riveted blue jean. His legacy reminds us that German immigrants didn't just become part of American culture—they helped define it. 👖

Russia’s reckless drone incursion into Romania shows once again Russia’s willingness to escalate. Germany stands with our NATO Allies. The incident once again underscores the need for strong NATO posture on the Eastern flank. We are ready to defend every inch of Allied territory.

The threat posed by Russia affects us all. Putin must not be allowed to capitalise on the current escalation in the Middle East. We know he is hoping that Ukraine’s supporters will eventually turn their backs on it. We will not do him that favour. (5/7)

Over four years ago, Putin believed he could seize an entire country in a single stroke. He could not have been more mistaken: about the resilience of 🇺🇦, the enormous price he is paying – and will continue to pay – and the solidarity among 🇺🇦’s supporters. (4/7)

Bucha has become a symbol of inhumanity & brutality, of the unspeakable, deliberate crimes against civilians that are an integral part of Russian warfare. Wherever Putin’s Russia goes, it brings war crimes & barbarism. (2/7)

Together with my colleagues from Ukraine & the EU, I commemorated the liberation of #Bucha four years ago today. Under Russian occupation, this quiet suburb of Kyiv became a living hell. @AussenMinDE (1/7)
