varsity earlier and most m p 's actually supported the earth resolution, which are the defacto opposition party. the common is part of the russian federation, pat tevo's dealer issue. i will assume that we will have to do everything possible to solve their problems of the don bus. however, this has to be done as the chancellors just said, namely that we come to a new situation where the minsk agreement really is, is fully implemented. when we help very much that are overseas partners and or european partners politically are partners in germany, and france will have an influence on the key of government. and so that the numbers region solution can be found. talk over the world was mother you regarding mister schroeder and nor stream to well look, makes you a little bit ago. i am told you the chancellor to day that in the early 2,

thousands we together with ukraine. and at the time it must prison and coach my whole resume governing ukraine for hugh. and mister schroeder, the govern, germany a, at the time russia, germany and ukraine made an agreement. and we signed an agreement that namely an international consortium with russian, ukraine. and germany was to be created early in which other european countries could join. and this was be a consortium or which could to administer the latin, the network in ukraine now. so it wasn't about us knowing expropriation or about sale. it was about the management. and this consortium should have been able to, to build and invest the, the pipeline then that then ukrainian government, you shanker, leave head, refused to improvise disagreement. then the questions were raised as to how to make

sure guess, got the supply to germany safely. took to not just only won't for europe, mr. charisma, andalum type support at the beginning of all street one and only is currently getting 55000000000 cubic meters of natural gas through this plane. or they've got a little comfort. and this gas is being delivered on the basis of contracts entered into a long term, li northwood. you and i already mentioned in class, these are contracts use of humor as well, which are 347 know 5 time with you. but i'm usually less than in the spot market, the prices and the spot market would have hearing that issue said the german um consumer, whether industrial consumer or private consumer actually get gas, which is 5 times cheaper than it would be in. it's not a marker. so the german citizens should look at their money in their pocket and then ask themselves whether they'd be willing to pay for $5.00 times as much for

gas and electricity. because if, if the, the germans don't want to pay more than later, be great for the mr. schroeder, because this gas by his is the result of his wife. but i will, you know, as far as his presence in the ministry bodies of cast promise concerns, let me say the following live. we are many people in europe. i concerned in that ago about whether you will you regular g energy deliveries from russia to germany in europe? well, actually exists since june. so that if, if, when i'll make a decision that is mister schroeder will join lose of a visor, void of gus problem than that it is a decision which actually helps to make sure that we have an independent expert, which of course he is a decent person. somebody will be in respect with you and somebody who obviously more than half the job to also serve the interests of his own country

with a fair republic of germany. i believe you will. yeah, yeah. santa fe republic of germany and europeans will have somebody on the board in mister schroeder who's going to be able to involve and influence decisions on the board. and it also get objective information straight from gas from i think her that this will only do our corporation. a good service we can only be very happy about is whether it's going to happen one way or not. i think when, when john, when in june the selection will be made, it's up to gas bronman. it's a degree question of independent experts. and it's also up to mr. sherwood now all stream to oh the, the presence of mr. sherwood, her in the board on the boat of gas from this is a natural development he was involved in all stream one north stream 2 is the ceo of nostrand to after all, let me also remind you that they are falling german companies involved in the

funding of their project got a low to german companies recovery and that was her north stream to which is a pipeline which is already completed. it's ready to be an become operational. the only question is now the, the german regulator. they have to make the decision to, to use this pipeline to start delivering us. that was a denise by dislike at one festivals. vi question concerned the minsk agreement. that is an agreement we'd all have to comply with. it applies equally to the ukrainian government to the russian government on to the german august and london and french governance countries involved in the political praises. uh 50 at the bottom of the agreement. i know that is alter, that is why it's important that we will make a contribution. one contribution is to make the draft proposals necessary available, which are necessary for the 3 major tasks which i already mentioned and which are

linked to these specific via ah, laws. they are election laws. so mr. stein murray mentioned that the constitutional questions, all of that is going to be put on the table and then the trilateral format to your russia, ukraine. oh is c e and all others concerns bernie, to addresses. so that's the agreement. and this is a process which should be supported by all and not stop by anybody, obviously that everybody are on, tends to interpret things differently, but is all been written down clearly. and my wishes that we can all agree to abide by what has already been agreed. there may still be a matter to be discussed, but that also ideas that can be worked on. that's my wish anyway. and the prerequisites are there. and if we all try, hardy can work only if we do that does obviously the diamond in scar. this also means that turned

a free. we're not to do this. the men's agreement would be ignored if that piece of parliamentary resolution to day in russia would become reality. it would ignore the men's agreement. i think we all know that and any such resolution, what her counteract the means agreement it would end the process, it will be the end. it will be ability disaster lamb council. so i think the only way forward is for to return to the mens agreement, which you asked about where clear criteria has been laid down, locked into the tuft concerning all stream to, to provide the traveler to be too early to get the private business activities of a form of politicians are that's not something i would like to comment, had with her between russia and german need. this is a matter of that and i live and it's different. and as far as north for him to was concerned, we all know we have what is happening. we have obliged herself to make sure that turned out are saved gas supplies to ukraine with nostril one with ukraine and

belarus and poland or together according to the agreements which are in place. and we make sure that this does indeed, we also want to make sure that we see piece will development in europe, but there is no military confrontation in ukraine shock might happen a consequence, then there will be far reaching consequences. i think we all know about this. we certainly know what to go. we have to do in such a situation. my impression is that everybody else knows was equally clearly or what is that the state will utilize and everybody understands the political reality. sympathetic stuff that are happening except d, this is why it's so poor that we do everything possible to avoid exactly that sort of situation. we want to rely on a peaceful solution. we want to show political leadership do our bit to make sure that not everybody scapegoats everybody else because we all have to do our bit to make sure peace can be maintained. that is our job with mrs. mckay. me here in

fisher dp a next, please. thank you, chance, lindsey i'm of hogs. first question to you. you mentioned a moment ago in that's difficult. this is half been addressed in your discussion with president porter and as far as the german russian relations are concerned, morale, and deutsche available mentioned, there are other issues as well, like leave novel in the case a trial has started to day than there are medical compulsory tests for foreigners that are written cyber attacks, also against germany. a good news is use which you raised to. but if so, what was the reaction of president clinton? and how would you describe the unofficial stage of your promotion with john relations altogether and present, put in another question regarding the initial step solving truth withdrawing. she

commends today how will discontinue in the next few days and weeks will further just be withdrawn. a new today exclude maternity game is ukraine's war. and another question regarding our from that, all right, her li, accession and you not to nato of ukraine. soil, chancellor, song and shark other penances adapt and happy government of nato are unwilling to guarantee a norm, acceptance inter nato. i feel great. could you perhaps imagine the kind of moratorium, because nate is now saying that an extension of ukraine to nato is something which is unrealistic of the next 2 years. maybe even decades pillar tim, on with what we have. we have your village to raised a variety of issues, some of which i told you about as far as the in our new cases concerned. my opinion is clear, according to the rule of law or sentencing is not acceptable. it's

a position i have repeatedly made clear. we moved to a less group, but it still wasn't, was with me. yeah. i see that i yes. once again, i'm not using the opportunity to answer a question. progressive would you upload the question now is how shall we continue? is it earlier and turn, what shall this plan consist of? well, it's going to follow. reality is on the ground. if the who can say exactly how the situation on the ground ground is going to develop, nobody can, it's not just something which depends on us. but we wish to and will strive to makes all that agreements can be reached with our partners on those questions that

we have raised. so the, these issues can be solved by diplomatic means. what are these is, is well regarding russian security interest, we're talking about her no further expansion of nato. we're talking about her own military infrastructure, the alliance going back to the status of 1997 and not deploying or go any weapons of that can be used for any purpose of attack near russia. these are most concerns for us. we are quite happy to address other issues some such as we've addressed earlier. but basically we're talking about these sir. priority is that we already mentioned spiritual group, the group. i'll what was the 2nd part of your question? again? i have firm taught it something down bit skin

it was about the truth. let's draw either from from the ukrainian border region and about nato, an expansion or the i. yes. regarding the true withdrawal. i think i've already been commented on that i've already answered are part of your question now regarding natal expansions, you've actually said something which is a wonderful sentence. in the next years, ukraine is not to be accepted into nature. what does that mean? which is not to be accepted. we need to understand secretly of warranty. we're mean sort of sure. union of if something is said to him in inter governmental relations for 30 years, they're saying nature would not extend by one inch towards the russian border. and at the moment, we are seeing that nato infrastructure is, is right outside our doorstep. and they even discussing that ukraine might join

nato. yet it's not going to happen tomorrow, as you said by wind media day after tomorrow video. and what would that mean for us historically as seen? what would it change with luke? why doesn't m for green? you got boy, who knew me, we keep being told that ukraine isn't mature for membership. it's a thesis that we are familiar with. but at the same time, there was a saying that well to morrow ukraine wont be accepting us with them with the question is when, when then if, when once they're ready. and then of course it could be too late for us, emma shelf. this is why that's an easier we need to see resolve now right now in the near future as part of a discussion roses where peaceful are means are used. that's what we as your may we hope very much of our concerns are being listened to and being taken seriously by our partners. but also article well for our
