Agnieszka Brugger is a Green Party defence policy expert. According to Brugger  Baerbock’s feminist leanings have given her unique insight in understanding the Ukrainian conflict.

Speaking at the event “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow” on the occasion of the International Women’s Day 2022, Annalena Baerbock said “If half of the population are unable to participate as equals, no society can reach its full potential. And if half of the world’s population is excluded, we cannot achieve sustainable peace and security. When I was at the contact line in Ukraine told me: “Unless women are safe, no one is safe in society.” A feminist foreign policy is not a topic; it is a comprehensive approach to our foreign policy.”
