Sunday’s decision is in stark contrast to this spirit. (2/2)

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)

Until then, we are determined to sharpen sanctions to pressure #Russia to change its course of senseless attacks. Work on the 20th sanctions package will be expedited. (2/2)

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.

#Russland hat heute Nacht erneut gezeigt, dass es kein Interesse an Frieden hat. Bei den Angriffen in #Kyjiw und #Lviv wurden erneut Zivilistinnen und Zivilisten getötet und verletzt. Wieder war im Winter die Energie- und Wärmeinfrastruktur Ziel der Angriffe. (1/2)

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

#Russland zeigt nach wie vor keine Bereitschaft für ernsthafte Friedensverhandlungen. Deshalb haben wir die EU-Sanktionen weiter nachgeschärft, um in Moskau ein Umdenken zu erreichen. 1/2

Today, we remember #Holodomor. The famine orchestrated by the Stalinist regime killed millions of Ukrainians.
Hunger must never be a weapon!
At the recent #FoodFromUkraine Summit 🇦🇹 reaffirmed its commitment to global food security.

Austria joins "Scaling Up Renewables in Africa" co-hosted by Presidents von der Leyen & Ramaphosa. With a pledge by @OeEB_Austria, we’re contributing to Africa's renewable energy transition & sustainable growth. #InternationalPartnershipsAustria

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.

Russland muss endlich das Töten beenden, an den Verhandlungstisch kommen und einem umfassenden #Waffenstillstand zustimmen. Die EU steht weiterhin fest an der Seite der Ukraine. (2/2)

Austria stands in solidarity with all countries affected by #HurricaneMelissa. €1 million from the Foreign Disaster Relief Fund has been allocated to support humanitarian assistance in #Haiti. Our thoughts are with all those affected.

We are gravely concerned by reports of mass killings of civilians by the Rapid Support Forces (#RSF). We call on the RSF to respect intl. humanitarian law, protect civilians, & ensure safe corridors. We call on all parties to cease hostilities and return to the negotiating table.

Statement by the High Representative on behalf of the EU on Belarus’ hybrid actions at the EU external border The EU issued a statement on Belarus’ hybrid actions at the EU external border.

The EU, including AT, stands in full solidarity with Lithuania and calls for an immediate end to the provocative hybrid actions by Belarus.

🇦🇹 is proud to be among the first signatories of the #UNCybercrimeConvention — making cyberspace safer for all of us, standing up for stronger #multilateralism, and reaffirming Vienna‘s key role as UN headquarters (@UNODC).

Recent developments demonstrate how far #Russia is still away from a willingness for meaningful peace negotiations. Instead, Russia continues to attack energy infrastructure, cities & civilians. 1/2

We condemn the #Russian attack on a United Nations humanitarian convoy in Cherson in #Ukraine. Humanitarians are protected by international humanitarian law and must never be a target!

Ein erster Deal zwischen Israel und der Hamas zur Freilassung der Geiseln und einem Schritt Richtung Frieden ist die beste Nachricht seit langem. 🙏

This week, #Albania, #Moldova, #Montenegro & #NorthMacedonia reached a major milestone on their path to #EU membership!
The Single Euro Payment Area (#SEPA) is now fully operational with these countries, making Euro transfers easier, faster & cheaper for citizens & businesses.

On the sad anniversary of Hamas’ barbaric terror attack on Israel, our hearts & thoughts are with the victims, their families and with the hostages still held captive in Gaza.
2 years after the horrors of 7 October 2023, the terrible conflict that has ensued must finally end. 1/1

We welcome the readiness by Russia & the US to adhere to the #NewSTART limits for a year after expiry. More nuclear weapons won’t make anyone safer – neither the US, nor Russia nor the rest of the world. Let us use this time to get to deeper cuts through a new agreement.

The violence against protesters and the detention of various opposition leaders in #Georgia are unacceptable.
We once again call on the Georgian leadership to start a meaningful dialogue with the civil society.
