In recent years, the amount of water in the Marshes has decreased catastrophically. #Iraq  showcases the effects of the #climate  crisis, but also its causes: the burning of fossil fuels. 2/3

#Russia has abducted Ukrainian children during its war of aggression. What could be more abhorrent than to take children out of their homes, away from their friends, their loved ones? We will not rest until every single child is home. @ABaerbock  in the @UN_HRC  #HRC52  1/3

Russia's war against #Ukraine  is also a brutal attack on international law. #Zeitenwende  means: We must also find new answers in international law so that it can carry its full strength. @ABaerbock  at the @HagueAcademy  for International Law. 1/6

We call upon the authorities in #Iran  to grant access to the Fact Finding Mission established last November, to stop the violent crackdown on the peaceful protests, & to refrain from imposing and carrying out the death penalty. @ABaerbock  #HRC52  2/3

We are living in a different world after #Putin ’s war of aggression. We are appalled by this breach of international law, but not paralyzed. That is why we will send anti-tank weapons and Stinger missiles to the Ukrainian soldiers who defend their country. - FM @ABaerbock 

To set the numbers straight: In 2017 only 24% of Germanys energy consumption was gas, 40% came from Russia. That means 9,6% of Russian gas in the overall consumption. If we add oil from Russia the total share is 23%, still far from 70%
