The German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, during the Munich Security Conference, pointed out the critical moment Europe is facing.

"This is an existential moment in which Europe must rise," she said, highlighting that three years ago Europe had to demonstrate its strength and courage, and today the situation is repeating itself.

A united Europe as a response to challenges

Baerbock emphasised that the response to the current challenges is a united Europe. "There will be no peace in Europe if it is not European peace," she added, underlining the importance of continental unity. The German Foreign Minister also assured support for Ukraine, saying, "We will stand by Ukraine as long as it takes because we will always advocate for European peace."

Baerbock pointed out that the greatest threat to Europe is presently Putin's Russia. Her words underscore the need for solidarity and collective action in the face of external challenges. "Europe must be strong and courageous," she declared, referring to the continent's previous experiences.
