Visiting Ukraine
Since 2021, Michael Roth has been chairing the Committee on Foreign Affairs, succeeding Norbert Röttgen. In this capacity, he visited Ukraine shortly after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine with Anton Hofreiter and Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, the chairs of parliament's European Affairs and Defence Committees respectively.[2]
Praising Georgia
In May 2024, on a visit to Georgia, Michael Roth said:
- "Tbilisi is the true capital of Europe, and we are all proud of you. Your fight is our fight. And you can expect more from us than just the lip services", Chairman of the German Bundestag’s Foreign Affairs Committee @MiRo_SPD said at the rally on Rustaveli avenue which he addressed together with his colleagues from Lithuania and the Czech Republic.[3]
Path of ruination
On 15 May 2024, Scott Ritter posted on X:
