Iran:🇪🇺condemns in the strongest terms the use of #deathpenalty as a response to domestic dissent,as shown by today's execution of Gholamreza Resaei sentenced for protesting in 2022. EU urges 🇮🇷to immediately end this practice & abolish capital punishment eeas.europa.eu/eeas/iran-stat…

Just got off the phone with the new 🇬🇧 Foreign Secretary, David Lammy. Glad that the UK government plans to reset its relations with the EU. We also discussed cooperation on the Western Balkans, #Ukraine, our ongoing de-escalation efforts in the Middle East & illegal migration.

Israel/Gaza: Statement by the High Representative on remarks of Minister Smotrich regarding starving civilians ⤵️ eeas.europa.eu/eeas/israelgaz…

4 years ago today, Belarusians were denied their #DemocraticRights to freely elect legitimate leaders. With about 1,400 political prisoners, repression persists. We stand up for a democratic & independent #Belarus and call for the immediate release of all political prisoners.

Horrific Russian strike on a supermarket in Kostiantynivka killing at least 10 people & injuring many more. We urge Russia and its leadership to stop targeting civilians. Russia must end this brutal and illegal war against #Ukraine and its people. We continue to #StandWithUkraine

The EU fully supports the call by the Leaders of the US, Egypt & Qatar to conclude the ceasefire and hostages release deal, urgently needed. We have repeatedly reiterated our deep concern with the situation in Gaza and deplored the loss of civilian life. consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press…

Today marks 75 years since the signing of the #GenevaConventions.   A cornerstone of international humanitarian law, they embody the importance of protecting human dignity in armed conflict. Today more than ever, Austria remains committed to upholding these vital principles.

Russia: The sentence to 12 years in prison of the RU/US citizen Ksenia Karelina for a donation of less than € 50 to a Ukrainian NGO is shocking! The 🇪🇺 calls on 🇷🇺 to release all prisoners of conscience & stop repression against anti-war protesters.

🇺🇦 On #Ukraine's #IndependenceDay we stand in solidarity with the courageous people of UA in their fight for freedom against #Russia's war of aggression. Let’s unite to uphold international law, UA’s right to self-defence, territorial integrity and independence. #StandWithUkraine

Day 914 ❗️- Another day of massive Russian attacks terrorising civilians in #Ukraine and particularly aiming at the 🇺🇦 energy infrastructure. We reiterate our call on #Russia to end this brutal and senseless destruction. #StandWithUkraine

We are deeply concerned by the verdict against the former editors-in-chief of #StandNews in #HongKong. Restricting the space for free expression weakens vital checks & balances. A stable & prosperous Hong Kong, where fundamental freedoms are protected, is in everyone’s interest.

The EU urges immediate humanitarian pauses to enable the vaccination of all children in Gaza against the poliovirus. An epidemic among a population weakened by 10 months of fighting, displacement, deprivation and lack of health services must be avoided. europa.eu/!MKMBFn

Pleased to address the Ambassadors Conference of MFA Austria today. Thank FM Alexander Schallenberg for the invitation. Shared with them Indian perspective of the global situation, as well as the prospects for our own bilateral relationship and that with the European Union. 🇮🇳 🇦🇹

Sie sind Österreichs Augen & Ohren in der Welt, jetzt sind sie für die jährliche #BOKO2024 in Wien - herzlich Willkommen an unsere Botschafterinnen & Botschafter! Um globale Herausforderungen gemeinsam zu bewältigen, brauchen wir regelmäßigen Austausch. Danke für Euren Einsatz!

On the occasion of our annual 🇦🇹 ambassadors conference, great to hear from my good friend Dr. S. Jaishankar. In these challenging times, effective foreign policy relies on continuous engagement with key partners outside of Europe more than ever. #BOKO2024

Putin is under an arrest warrant by the Int'l Criminal Court for intl crimes. #EU regrets that Mongolia, a State Party to the Rome Statute of the #ICC, did not comply with its obligations under the statute to execute the arrest warrant.   Full statement 👉 europa.eu/!9pJTNf

Ukraine: Deadly 🇷🇺attack in Poltava 👉yet another targeted bloodshed, it proves Putin's determination to continue the brutal war against Ukrainian people. It also underlines the need for 🇺🇦 to be able to fend off such attacks & push the aggressor back. eeas.europa.eu/eeas/ukraine-s…

Grateful for the excellent cooperation with Dmytro Kuleba over the past years. You are not only a trusted friend but a tireless advocate for a free, independent & prosperous #Ukraine. We will continue to support a just & lasting peace for the 🇺🇦 citizens based on int‘l law.

The attack on police guarding the NS-Dokuzentrum München close to the consulate of #Israel in Munich is despicable. Very relieved that the rapid intervention of the security forces has prevented worse.   #Antisemitism has no place in our society!
