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.”
