Here is my rough Google translation of the statement by

ALLIED MUSEUM DIRECTOR DR. JÜRGEN LILLTEICHER ON RUSSIA’S ATTACK ON UKRAINE

With Russia’s attack on Ukraine, the previous peace order in Europe was destroyed. This order had guaranteed the inviolability of borders and the territorial integrity of the states in Europe.

In 2020, our museum commemorated the 30th anniversary of the Two Plus Four Treaty on German Unity and in 2021 the 50th anniversary of the Four Power Agreement on Berlin. Negotiations, treaties and mutual agreements have so far secured peace in Europe. The Allied Museum views the unilateral denunciation of these principles and the military enforcement of imperial interests with great concern and fears for peace in Europe. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is an attack on our democracies and our fundamental values, values ​​that the Allied Museum also upholds. Our museum therefore stands firmly and in solidarity with Ukraine and condemns this war in the strongest possible terms. Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine!
