1, #Germany's new government's #coalitionagreement of the @SPDbt, @Die_Gruenen and @FDP, on the #EuropeanEunion's #EasternNeighborhood: "We are working together with the #EU and its member states on the further development of the #EasternPartnership.

2. States such as #Ukraine, #Moldova & #Georgia, which are striving to join the EU, should be able to move closer through consistent rule-of-law and market-economy reforms. We will react decisively and reliably to democratic upheavals and be a partner to the democracy movements.

3. We want to facilitate civil society exchanges through targeted visa facilitation. We will continue to support Ukraine in restoring full territorial integrity and sovereignty. @UkrVerstehen @H__Ukraine @PromoteUkraine @NEC_Ukraine @intercourier_ua @UaPosition @CPD_UA @gazeta_ua

4. We aim to deepen the energy partnership with #Ukraine, with strong ambitions in renewable energy, #greenhydrogen production, #energyefficiency and CO2 reduction. @ukrainegreen @UkrainianEnergy @greenpartyofukr @NaftogazUkraine @GasTSOua @UkraineGas @theUBN @uaopen4business

5. We stand with the people of #Belarus and support their desire for new #elections, #democracy, #freedom & the rule of law and call for the unconditional release of all #politicalprisoners. #Russianinterference in favor of #Lukashenka is unacceptable. @AKBelarus @aktionBelarus

6. We will support the #democratic #opposition in #Belarus through further offers. If #Lukashenko does not decide to change course, we will seek to extend the existing @EUSanctions in order to make it more difficult for the regime to access funding. @BelarusReview @nexta_tv

7. #German-#Russian relations are deep and multifaceted. #Russia is also an important international player. We recognize the importance of substantial and stable relations and continue to strive for them. We are ready for constructive #dialogue. @GERonOstpolitik @RusVerstehen

8. We address the interests of both sides on the basis of the principles of international law, human rights & the European peace order, to which #Russia has also committed itself. @4freerussia_org @NemtsovF @freerussiahouse @russia_matters @FreeRussiaEU @Russia__West @EUinRussia

9. We respect the interests of our European neighbors, especially our partners in Central and #EasternEurope. We will take account of different threat perceptions and focus on a common and coherent EU policy towards Russia. @PISM_Poland @IIR_Prague @_KremlinWatch @InModernRussia

10. We call for an immediate end to the #destabilization attempts against #Ukraine, the #violence in #easternUkraine and the #annexation of #Crimea in violation of #internationallaw. @crimeaplatform @donbassrealii @novostidnua_en @EESRIorg @qhacrimeaqha @NewsCrimeaEn @CrimeaEU

11. The path to a peaceful resolution of the conflict in eastern Ukraine and the lifting of sanctions in this regard depends on the full implementation of the #MinskAgreements. We advocate the resolution of frozen conflicts in the region. @SCEEUS_UI @ecpr_sscrn @Konflikt_Sicher

12. We want to cooperate more with Russia on future issues (e.g. hydrogen, health) and in addressing global challenges (e.g. climate, environment). @dw_russian @deruforum @russlandRU @Russland_Forum @russlandTV @vneshpol @ostexperte @OstAusschuss

13. We strongly criticize the comprehensive restriction of civil & democratic freedoms & expect #Russia's government to give #civilsociety there the opportunity for unhindered contact to #German partners & to strengthen our commitment to support them. @karenina_pdo @EU_Russia_CSF

14. We want to create the possibility of #visafree travel from #Russia to #Germany for particularly important target groups, for example young people under 25."
