- Glad that the field hospital for 🇺🇦 provided by 🇩🇪 and staffed with Belarusian medics was handed over today, as agreed upon between @ABaerbock and @Tsihanouskaya. Strong symbol of collaboration between 🇩🇪, 🇺🇦 and democratic #Belarus!
- Last night another political prisoner died in #Belarus: Ales Pushkin was an artist charged for the “crime” of painting an anti-Soviet resistance fighter. Our thoughts are with his family. There are more than 1500 political prisoners in Belarus. All of them should be free.
- International solidarity with Ukraine 🇺🇦: Belarusian volunteers support Ukrainian forces in defending themselves against the Russian war of aggression. In the past weeks, @AuswaertigesAmt has provided them with 5 pickup trucks. Great cooperation with team @Tsihanouskaya !
- Looking forward to continuing the great work of Michael Siebert as Director for Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia at the Federal Foreign Office @GermanyDiplo!
- Our embassy in Minsk has again sent letters to a number of political prisoners unjustly jailed in Belarus. They carry with them some spring illustrations and our clear message that we continue to stand by their side – until all of them are released.
- Today 30 years ago, 🇩🇪 and 🇦🇿 established diplomatic relationships, laying the ground for our deep ties far beyond the economy – 🇦🇿 is most important trading partner for 🇩🇪 in Caucasus, 🇩🇪 helping 🇦🇿 economy to diversify. In #30years 🇦🇿 came closer to 🇪🇺. A reason to celebrate!
- I express my deepest condolences to the victims and their families of today's attack on the 🇦🇿 embassy in Tehran. Assaults on diplomatic missions are unacceptable! The circumstances of this crime need to be investigated as soon as possible.
- Since 2020, the authorities in Belarus wrongly arrested thousands. Over 1000 political prisoners – real people – are suffering in jail. We are looking to highlight their individual stories. We cannot forget those unjustly jailed & persecuted. #FreeBelarus
- 25-year-old Crimean Tatar Leniye Umerova was detained end of 2022 on her way to occupied 🇺🇦 Crimea and is still kept under arrest by 🇷🇺 for political reasons. 🇷🇺 persecution of the Crimean Tatars must stop! #CrimeaIsUkraine @EmineDzheppar @T_Tasheva @crimeaplatform
- We deeply regret today's decision by Russia's Supreme Court to liquidate Memorial International. Memorial is a voice of reason, peace and for the respect for human rights worldwide. This voice must not be silenced.
- Server Mustafayev, human rights activist and representative of the Crimean Tatar people, arrested and sentenced to 14 years, is only one of at least 111 Crimean Tatars currently imprisoned by 🇷🇺 for political motives. #CrimeaIsUkraine @EmineDzheppar @T_Tasheva @crimeaplatform
- Deeply concerned about reports of massive new combats btw #Armenia and #Azerbaijan at #NagornoKarabakh contact line. Call for immediate stop of all mIlitary activities.
