Austria condemns the #Israeli’s security cabinet’s decision to expand control in the West Bank which violates international law. Working towards a two-state solution, in which Israelis and Palestinians live side-by-side, is the only way to achieve sustainable #peace. (1/2)

Yet again, #Russia has launched heavy attacks against Ukraine‘s energy infrastructure to break the civilian population‘s morale. We once again call on Russia to stop the war and engage earnestly in peace negotiations. (1/2)

We are very concerned about the expiration of the #NewStartTreaty between the United States and Russia. It undermines decades of efforts during geopolitical tensions to limit and reverse the nuclear arms race. Now swift action is needed to reduce the risks of nuclear escalation.

Im Fokus dieses Mal die #Schattenflotte und ihre Unterstützer: Sie finanziert nicht nur die russische Kriegsmaschinerie, sondern stellt aufgrund des oft katastrophalen Zustands der Schiffe und gefährlicher Manöver auch ein erhebliches Umwelt- und Sicherheitsrisiko dar. 2/2

Determination in fighting corruption is essential for any EU candidate country. Recent developments in #Ukraine underline the need for independent institutions & a strong track-record on investigations & judgments, incl. high-level cases. This is key for progress on its EU path.
