During the conference, Baerbock highlighted the significant moment Europe is experiencing.

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

A united Europe as a response to challenges

Baerbock stressed that the response to 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, stating, "We will stand by Ukraine as long as it takes because we will always advocate for European peace."

She pointed out that the greatest threat to Europe is currently Putin's Russia. Her remarks 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.
