In the coldest winter since war began, #Putin is bombarding Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure - night after night. Hundreds of thousands are currently without heating, power & hot water. We will continue to support #Ukraine 🇺🇦 in its defence against 🇷🇺 . @aussenminister.diplo.de 1/2

So that people in #Ukraine – who are also defending Europe’s freedom every day – can get through the winter as best as possible, we are providing another €60m, e.g. for generators, fuel & heating. So Putin’s plan to break 🇺🇦 resistance fails. @aussenminister.diplo.de 2/2

January 17 is Raoul Wallenberg Day in Canada.
A Swedish diplomat who saved tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews during the Holocaust, Wallenberg was arrested in 1945 and never seen again.
His legacy endures as a reminder of human dignity and individual moral responsibility.
