Clear message to #Russia by 🇩🇪 President #Steinmeier following his re-election:

“We are in the midst of the danger of a (…) war in Eastern Europe. Russia bears the responsibility for this.

Russia's troop deployment cannot be misunderstood. It is a threat to #Ukraine 🇺🇦” 1/5
“But the people [in #Ukraine] have a right to live without fear+threat, to self-determination+sovereignty.

No country in the world has the right to destroy that. And we will respond decisively to whoever tries to do so.”

- President #Steinmeier in speech after re-election 2/5
“Fear is growing not only in #Ukraine, but in many countries of Eastern Europe.

That is why we stand by the Estonians, the Latvians & the Lithuanians; we stand together with the Poles, the Slovaks & the Romanians & all our allies: you can rely on us.”

President #Steinmeier 3/5
“Germany is part of #NATO and the #EuropeanUnion.

Without them, we Germans would not be living in unity and freedom today. We do not forget that. Without any ambiguity, we profess our commitment to the Alliance.”

- President #Steinmeier in speech following his re-election 4/5
“I can only warn President #Putin: do not underestimate the strength of democracy!”

- President #Steinmeier in his acceptance speech following his re-election today. #Ukraine #Russia 5/5
