For the ‘#Zeitenwende’ to deliver on its promises, Germany needs:
🇺🇦a strategy to provide systematic support to Ukraine,
⚙️ a reformed procurement system that allows for the swift replenishment of national stocks and
♟️ a National Security Strategy.

The “Sondervermögen” needs to reach the @bundeswehrInfo faster. The longer @OlafScholz waits, the less can actually be purchased as inflationary price increases & interest payments reduce the real purchasing power. At this point, only 60-70 billion euro remain in real terms.

Where does Germany stand after one year? The sober answer is: The “#Zeitenwende” is for the most part unfortunately only taking place on paper.

We still witness how fundamental human - women's - rights are being violated all over the world. The Taliban's systematic repression of Afghan women and the violent crackdown on courageous Iranian women are two particularly outrageous examples.

Nowhere are geopolitical shifts as palpable as in the #Artic. With abundant natural resources, the region has become a centre of geopolitical gravity & a rallying point for global players. With @AnnLinde, @ClaraGanslandt and Tormod Heier, we discussed the role played by the EU.

Mit dem "Windsor Abkommen" liegt ein neuer Kompromiss zum Nordirlandprotokoll auf dem Tisch, der alle Seiten zufriedenstellen & in den Beziehungen zwischen dem 🇬🇧 und der 🇪🇺 ein neues Kapitel aufschlagen soll.

If anything, the last year taught us that economic ties did not lead to a Russian rapprochement with the democratic West. This idea turned out to be an illusion. Diplomatic ties with 🇷🇺 remain at the bare minimum until Putin has fully withdrawn from the recognised territory of 🇺🇦
